---|---|---|
The enumerate-and-expand paradigm for solving NP-hard problems has been introduced and applied to some Vertex Cover variants in a recently published preliminary paper. In this paper we improve on the runtime for Connected Vertex Cover, obtaining a bound of O*(2.7606k), and use the technique in order to gain the fastest known method for counting the number of vertex covers in a graph, which takes O*(1.3803k) time. |
