In this paper, we study two classic optimization problems: minimum geometric dominating set and set cover. In the dominating-set problem, for a given set of objects in {the} plane as input, the objective is to choose a minimum number of…

A set $D \subseteq V$ is a dominating set of a graph $G$ if every vertex in $V - D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. A dominating set $D$ is a paired-dominating set if the subgraph of $G$ induced by $D$ contains a perfect…

A feedback vertex set (FVS) of an undirected graph is a set of vertices that contains at least one vertex of each cycle of the graph. The feedback vertex set problem consists of constructing a FVS of size less than a certain given value.…
A mixed dominating set of a graph $G = (V, E)$ is a mixed set $D$ of vertices and edges, such that for every edge or vertex, if it is not in $D$, then it is adjacent or incident to at least one vertex or edge in $D$. The mixed domination…
