Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the minimum resolving dominating set problem which is a emerging combinatorial optimization problem in general graphs. We prove that the resolving dominating set problem is NP-hard and propose a greedy algorithm with an approximation ratio of (\(1 + 2\ln n\)) by establishing a submodular potential function, where n is the node number of the input graph.
期刊介绍:
The objective of Journal of Combinatorial Optimization is to advance and promote the theory and applications of combinatorial optimization, which is an area of research at the intersection of applied mathematics, computer science, and operations research and which overlaps with many other areas such as computation complexity, computational biology, VLSI design, communication networks, and management science. It includes complexity analysis and algorithm design for combinatorial optimization problems, numerical experiments and problem discovery with applications in science and engineering.
The Journal of Combinatorial Optimization publishes refereed papers dealing with all theoretical, computational and applied aspects of combinatorial optimization. It also publishes reviews of appropriate books and special issues of journals.
