Abstract

The constrained minimum vertex cover problem on bipartite graphs (the Min-CVCB problem), with important applications in the study of reconfigurable arrays in VLSI design, is an NP-hard problem and has attracted considerable attention in the literature. Based on a deeper and more careful analysis on the structures of bipartite graphs, we develop an exact algorithm of running time O((ku+kl)|G|+1.1892ku+kl), which improves the best previous algorithm of running time O((ku + kl)|G| + 1.26ku+kl) for the problem.
