G = (V , E )
Every vertex has degree 3
The length of the smallest cycle (girth of G ) is large
C ⊂ V s.t. every edge has at least one endpoint in C

Our problem
Try to find some upper bound for size of minimum vertex cover
Known bounds
1
5
|V | ≤ |C | ≤ |V |

8
Motivation
We are aware of a method to improve upper bound for dominating
number. Can we use similar argument for other graph parameters?
