Abstract

We consider the vertex cover and feedback vertex set problems for undirected graphs, and show that they are structurally closely related via the standard vector spaces associated with the graphs. This observation will then be used to demonstrate that these two problems can be efficiently approximated within a same constant factor of 2 by essentially the same heuristics.
