Vertex Cover Approximation

Vertex Cover Approximation is a greedy algorithm that belongs to the class of approximation algorithms, specifically designed to efficiently compute a near-optimal solution to the vertex cover problem by iteratively selecting endpoints of uncovered edges until all edges are incident to at least one selected vertex.
