Let G = (V, E) be a simple undirected graph. The Minimum Vertex Cover (MVC) problem is to find a minimum subset C of V such that for every edge, at least one of its endpoints should be included in C. Like many other graph theoretic problems this problem is also known to be NP-hard. In this paper, we propose a genetic algorithm called LeafGA for MVC problem and show the performance of the proposed algorithm by applying it to several published benchmark graphs.

The Vertex Coloring Problem hasn't been solved in polynomial time, so this problem has been known as NP-complete. This paper suggests linear time algorithm for Vertex Coloring Problem (VCP). The proposed algorithm is based on assumption that we can't know a priori the minimum chromatic number ${\chi}(G)$=k for graph G=(V,E) This algorithm divides Vertices V of graph into two parts as independent sets $\overline{C}$ and cover set C, then assigns the color to $\overline{C}$. The element of independent sets $\overline{C}$ is a vertex ${\upsilon}$ that has minimum degree ${\delta}(G)$ and the elements of cover set C are the vertices ${\upsilon}$ that is adjacent to ${\upsilon}$. The reduced graph is divided into independent sets $\overline{C}$ and cover set C again until no edge is in a cover set C. As a result of experiments, this algorithm finds the ${\chi}(G)$=k perfectly for 26 Graphs that shows the number of selecting ${\upsilon}$ is less than the number of vertices n.

The conditional covering problem is an important variation of well studied set covering problem. In the set covering problem, the problem is to find a minimum cardinality vertex set which will cover all the given demand points. The conditional covering problem asks to find a minimum cardinality vertex set that will cover not only the given demand points but also one another. This problem is NP-complete for general graphs. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm to solve the conditional covering problem on interval graphs with n vertices which runs in O(n)time.

The prevention of D-Dos Attack requires to install filters at As border routers. This follows that finding minimum number of filters - VC(Vertex Cover), which is NP-complete problem. So, We propose improved 'Approximate VC' which is more efficient to real AS topology using topology property. Simulation shows that our algorithm, improved 'Approximated VC' enables us to reduce 25% VC nodes in comparison with 'Approximated VC'.

Given a network with k specified vertices bi called centers, a cardinality constrained cover is a family {Bi} of k subsets covering the vertex set of a network, such that each subset Bi corresponds to and contains center bi, and satisfies a given cardinality constraint. A set of cardinality constrained overlapping territories is a cardinality constrained cover such that the total sum of T(B$_{i}$) for all subsets is minimum among all cardinality constrained covers, where T(B$_{i}$) is the summation of the shortest path lengths from center bi to every vertex in B$_{I}$. This paper considers a problem of finding a set of cardinality constrained overlapping territories. and proposes an algorithm for the Problem which has the time and space complexities are O(k$^{3}$$\mid$V$\mid$$^{2}$) and O(k$\mid$V$\mid$+$\mid$E$\mid$), respectively, where V and E are the sets of vertices and edges of a given network, respectively. The concept of overlapping territories has a possibility to be applied to a job assignment problem.oblem.

Let G be a simple graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). A subset S of E(G) is called an edge cover of G if the subgraph induced by S is a spanning subgraph of G. The maximum number of edge covers which form a partition of E(G) is called edge covering chromatic number of G, denoted by X'c(G). It is known that for any graph G with minimum degree ${\delta},\;{\delta}-1{\le}X'c(G){\le}{\delta}$. If $X'c(G) ={\delta}$, then G is called a graph of CI class, otherwise G is called a graph of CII class. It is easy to prove that the problem of deciding whether a given graph is of CI class or CII class is NP-complete. In this paper, we consider the classification of nearly bipartite graph and give some sufficient conditions for a nearly bipartite graph to be of CI class.

In this paper I propose an algorithm of linear time complexity for NP-complete Maximum Independent Set (MIS) problem. Based on the basic property of the MIS, which forbids mutually adjoining vertices, the proposed algorithm derives the solution by repeatedly selecting vertices in the ascending order of their degree, given that the degree remains constant when vertices ${\nu}$ of the minimum degree ${\delta}(G)$ are selected and incidental edges deleted in a graph of n vertices. When applied to 22 graphs, the proposed algorithm could obtain the MIS visually yet effortlessly. The proposed linear MIS algorithm of time complexity O(n) always executes ${\alpha}(G)$ times, the cardinality of the MIS, and thus could be applied as a general algorithm to the MIS problem.

This paper suggests emergency medical service vehicle (ambulance) algorithm when the emergency patient occurs in order to be sufficient the maximum permission time T of arrival about all sectors in one city that is divided in the various areas. This problem cannot be solved in polynomial times. One can obtains the solution using the integer programming. In this paper we suggest vertex set (or dominating set) algorithm and easily decide the location of ambulances. The core of the algorithm decides the location of ambulance is to the maximum degree vertex among the neighborhood of minimum degree vertex. For the 33 sectors Ostin city in Texas, we apply $3{\leq}T{\leq}20$ minutes. The traditional set cover algorithm with integer programming cannot obtains the solution in several T in 18 cases. But, this algorithm obtains solution for all of the 18 cases.
