Minimum Vertex Cover Problem: Brute Force Algorithm Explained with Example

In this video, we study the minimum vertex cover problem of a graph. Finding the minimum vertex cover is an NP-complete problem. The video explains the brute force algorithm to find the minimum vertex cover in a graph using an illustrative example.
I misspoke a couple of times in this video - When I say "it covers/does not cover all the vertices" , I actually meant to say "it covers/does not cover all the edges".

Thanks Anand. It would be also helpful if you show the complexity analysis of this Brute Force Algorithm, which is O(2^n) (where n is the number of vertices). Also, in the Book (Introduction to Algorithms by T. Cormen), there is an approximation algorithm. It would be helpful too if you show this approximation algorithm and analyze its complexity along with the approximation ratio.

Good one!!!

Thank you.

[@senadonmez6934]

dont we need to choose the set with the max degree when there 's more than one possible set?

[@AcTheMace]

what does this mean?

[@timeless_admirer]

Can i have code for this.

Did you get somewhere ? I too need that for my assignment which has to be submitted today Please reply if you see this message
