Abstract (EN)
An edge dominating set in a graph G = (V, E) is a subset S of edges such that each edge in E − S is adjacent to at least one edge in S. The edge dominating set problem, to find an edge dominating set of minimum size, is a basic and important NP-hard problem that has been extensively studied in approximation algorithms and parameterized complexity. In this paper, we present improved hardness results and parameterized approximation algorithms for edge dominating set. More precisely, we first show that it is NP-hard to approximate edge dominatingset in polynomial time within a factor better than 1.18. Next, we give a parameterized approximation schema (with respect to the standard parameter) for the problem and, finally, we develop an O ∗(1.821 τ )-time exact algorithm where τ is the size of a minimum vertex cover of G.Subjects / Keywords
