New algorithms optimize online vertex cover with learning augmentation

This paper introduces learning-augmented algorithms for the online weighted vertex cover problem, focusing on bipartite and general graphs. The proposed algorithms offer optimal robustness-consistency tradeoffs, with a randomized algorithm achieving a $ rac{1}{1-e^{-\lambda}}$-robust and $ rac{\lambda}{1-e^{-\lambda}}$-consistent performance for bipartite graphs, and a deterministic algorithm providing $(1+\frac{1}{\lambda})$-robust and $(1+\lambda)$-consistent results for general graphs. Experimental validation on synthetic and real-world datasets supports the effectiveness of these algorithms. AI

    Learning-Augmented Algorithms for Online Vertex Cover

    arXiv:2606.22831v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper studies learning-augmented online weighted vertex cover with local advice and a tradeoff parameter $\lambda \in (0,1)$. We consider two graph settings: bipartite graphs and general graphs. In both settings, the …
