Approximate methods for minimum vertex cover fail to provide optimal results on small graph instances: A review

In this paper, a detailed literature review and comparative analysis, based on simplicity, efficiency and the run-time complexity of some well known approximation algorithms for Minimum Vertex Cover (MVC) problem have been carried out. The key contribution of this paper is the provision of small ben...
