1 Lecture 28 Approximation of Set Cover

2 Min Set Cover Red + Green

3 Greedy Algorithm

4 Observation

5 Theorem

6 Theorem Greedy Algorithm produces an approximation within ln n +1 from optimal. The same result holds for weighted set-cover.

7 Theorem Proof.

16 Connected Vertex-Cover
Given a connected graph, find a minimum vertex-cover which induces a connected subgraph.

17 Theorem Connected Vertex-Cover has a 3-approximation.

18 Weighted Connected Vertex-Cover
Given a vertex-weighted connected graph, find a connected vertex-cover with minimum total weight. Theorem Weighted Connected Vertex-Cover has a (1+ln Δ)-approximation where Δ is the maximum node degree of input graph. This is the best-possible!!!
