An Improved Greedy Heuristic for Unweighted Minimum Vertex Cover
Dhananjay Tomar · 2014
The minimum vertex cover (MVC) problem is a well-studied NP-Complete problem and has various applications. In this paper, a new heuristic approach has been proposed to find the minimum vertex cover of a graph. The proposed algorithm has been tested on random graphs and BHOSLIB instances. The results have shown that the proposed algorithm can yield better solutions especially on dense graphs for solving the minimum vertex cover problem.
