Johnson, M., Paesani, G., & Paulusma, D. (2018, June). Connected Vertex Cover for (sP1+P5)-free graphs. Presented at 44th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science (WG 2018)., Cottbus, Germany

The Connected Vertex Cover problem is to decide if a graph G has a vertex cover of size at most k that induces a connected subgraph of G. This is a well-studied problem, known to be NP-complete for restricted graph classes, and, in particular, for H-... Read More about Connected Vertex Cover for (sP1+P5)-free graphs.

Presented at 43nd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2018)., Liverpool, UK

Let vc(G), fvs(G) and oct(G) denote, respectively, the size of a minimum vertex cover, minimum feedback vertex set and minimum odd cycle transversal in a graph G. One can ask, when looking for these sets in a graph, how much bigger might they be if w... Read More about On the price of independence for vertex cover, feedback vertex set and odd cycle transversal.
