Minimum sum vertex cover of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ is a bijection $\phi : V(G) \to [n]$ that minimizes the cost $\sum_{\{u,v\} \in E(G)} \min \{\phi(u), \phi(v) \}$. Finding a minimum sum vertex cover of a graph (the MSVC problem) is…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be an undirected graph. We call $D_t \subseteq V$ as a total dominating set (TDS) of $G$ if each vertex $v \in V$ has a dominator in $D$ other than itself. Here we consider the TDS problem in unit disk graphs, where the…
