Improved Algorithms for Vertex Cover with Hard Capacities on Multigraphs and Hypergraphs

In this paper, we consider the minimum unweighted Vertex Cover problem with Hard Capacity constraints (VCHC) on multigraphs and hypergraphs. Given a graph, the objective of VCHC is to find a smallest multiset of vertices that cover all edges, under the constraints that each vertex can only cover a l...
