Explain the approximation algorithm for vertex cover of a connected graph with an example. [5]
A Vertex Cover of a graph G = (V, E) is a set of vertices C ⊆ V such that every edge in G is incident to at least one vertex in C. The optimization problem is to find the vertex cover with the fewest vertices (optimal vertex cover C). Since finding the exact minimum vertex cover is NP-hard, we u...
