Question: Let G = ( V , E ) be a given graph. We have seen that, any maximal independent set for G 2 dominates G
Let G VE be a given graph. We have seen that, any maximal independent set for G dominates G and lowerbounds any dominating set for G in size.
Consider the following greedy algorithm, which computes a dominating set for G that is minimal is size.
Algorithm GreedyAlgoDominatingSet
: U V
: while there exists v in U such that U v still dominates V in G do
: Remove v from U
: end while
: Output U
Prove or disprove that, the set U output by the greedy algorithm lowerbounds the size of the optimal dominating set for any given graph G
