A linear-time approximation algorithm for the weighted vertex cover problem
Abstract
A linear time approximation algorithm for the weighted set-covering problem is presented. For the special case of the weighted vertex cover problem it produces a solution of weight which is at most twice the weight of an optimal solution.
