摘要
A vertex subset S of a given graph G = (V, E) is called a connected k-path vertex cover (CVCPk) if every k-path of G contains at least one vertex from S, and the subgraph of G induced by S is connected. This concept has its background in the field of security and supervisory and the computation of a minimum CVCPk is NP-hard. In this paper, we give a (2 alpha + 1/2)-approximation algorithm for MinCVCP(3), where alpha is the performance ratio of an algorithm for MinVCP(3). (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
