The various Vertex Cover algorithms were tested under an even larger search space during this run, in order to really try to test the run times, and performed as follows: Brute Force: found a minimum ...

There are different types of flowchart symbols and conventions, such as ANSI, ISO, or UML, that you can use to document your algorithm. You should choose a standard notation that is consistent ...

Graph cover problems form a critical area within discrete optimisation and theoretical computer science, addressing the challenge of selecting subsets of vertices (or edges) that satisfy ...

This paper defines coverT(V,F) (also called the cover of formula F with respect to a set of variables V in theory T to be the strongest quantifier-free formula that is implied by exists(V): F in ...

Abstract: Experimental results have suggested that evolutionary algorithms may produce higher quality solutions for instances of vertex cover than a very well known approximation algorithm for this NP ...

A major issue with heuristics for set-cover problem is that they tend to get stuck in a local optimum typically because a large local move is necessary to find a better solution. A recent theoretical ...

This paper defines cover T (V,F) (also called the cover of formula F with respect to a set of variables V in theory T to be the strongest quantifier-free formula that is implied by \exists(V): F in ...
