On the minimum vertex cover of snarks
A vertex cover of a graph $G$ is a subset of vertices $C \subseteq V(G)$ such that every edge of $G$ is incident to at least one vertex in $C$. The vertex cover number of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a vertex cover of $G$ and is denoted by $\tau(G)$. A snark is a connected, bridgeless, cubic graph that has an edge...
