Abstract

This paper studies robust variants of the maximum weighted independent set problem and the minimum weighted vertex cover problem, respectively. Both problems are posed in a vertex-weighted graph. The paper explores whether the complement of a robustly optimal independent set must be a robustly optimal vertex cover, and vice-versa.

Keywords

weighted graph; independent set; vertex cover; robust optimization
