Question:

Consider again the graph in Figure 8.36. Now suppose that the cost of placing a vertex in S varies. Suppose the cost of placing vertex i in S is g(i) = (–i2 + 6i –5)3 for i є {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. Repeat parts (a), (b), and (c) of the previous problem for this new version of the problem. This is an instance of weighted vertex cover.
