of the smallest possible size. Formulate this problem as an integer linear
programming problem.
Given an undirected graph G = <V,E>, a vertex cover is a subset of vertices S V such that for each edge (u,v) belongs to E, either u S or v S or both. The Vertex Cover Problem is to find minimum size of the set S. Consider the following algorithm to Vertex Cover Problem: (1) Initialize the result as {} (2) Consider a set of all edges in given graph. Let the set be E’. (3) Do following while E’ is not empty ...a) Pick an arbitrary edge (u,v) from set E’ and add u and v to result ...b) Remove all edges from E which are either incident on u or v. (4) Return result. It claim that this algorithm is exact for undirected connected graphs. Is this claim True or False? Justify the answer.
