A Metaheuristic Approach to Solving the Generalized Vertex Cover Problem

Milanović, Marija (2010)

Mathematica Balkanica New Series

Similarity:

AMS Subj. Classification: 90C27, 05C85, 90C59 The topic is related to solving the generalized vertex cover problem (GVCP) by genetic algorithm. The problem is NP-hard as a generalization of well-known vertex cover problem which was one of the first problems shown to be NP-hard. The definition of the GVCP and basics of genetic algorithms are described. Details of genetic algorithm and numerical results are presented in [8]. Genetic algorithm obtained high quality solutions in...

On the Vertex Separation of Cactus Graphs

Markov, Minko (2007)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

This paper is part of a work in progress whose goal is to construct a fast, practical algorithm for the vertex separation (VS) of cactus graphs. We prove a theorem for cacti", a necessary and sufficient condition for the VS of a cactus graph being k. Further, we investigate the ensuing ramifications that prevent the construction of an algorithm based on that theorem only.

Recognizing when heuristics can approximate minimum vertex covers is complete for parallel access to NP

Edith Hemaspaandra, Jörg Rothe, Holger Spakowski (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

For both the edge deletion heuristic and the maximum-degree greedy heuristic, we study the problem of recognizing those graphs for which that heuristic can approximate the size of a minimum vertex cover within a constant factor of r , where r is a fixed rational number. Our main results are that these problems are complete for the class of problems solvable via parallel access to NP . To achieve these main results, we also show that the restriction of the vertex cover problem to those graphs...

On the Vertex Separation of Maximal Outerplanar Graphs

Markov, Minko (2008)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

We investigate the NP-complete problem Vertex Separation (VS) on Maximal Outerplanar Graphs (mops). We formulate and prove a “main theorem for mops”, a necessary and sufficient condition for the vertex separation of a mop being k. The main theorem reduces the vertex separation of mops to a special kind of stretchability, one that we call affixability, of submops.
