Age 15Explain it to a 15-year-oldConnect it to the formula
Any matching gives a lower bound on minimum vertex-cover size, so their difference is an optimality gap certificate. This page isolates matching lower-bound size and verifies it in the original relationship. The rule is b=a−c. Its input values are cover optimality gap, selected vertex-cover size, and the main result is matching lower-bound size. For example: selected vertex-cover size=28 and matching lower-bound size=24 produce cover optimality gap=4.
CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely
This calculator evaluates the stated vertex-cover matching lower-bound gap: solve matching lower-bound size relation over the valid real-number domain stated below. The implemented relation is b=a−c, evaluated from cover optimality gap, selected vertex-cover size to produce matching lower-bound size. Any matching gives a lower bound on minimum vertex-cover size, so their difference is an optimality gap certificate. This page isolates matching lower-bound size and verifies it in the original relationship. The matching and cover must refer to the same graph.
Inputs and valid domain
- cover optimality gap must be a finite real number.
- selected vertex-cover size must be a finite real number.
Important boundary: The matching and cover must refer to the same graph.

How the calculator works through it
It substitutes cover optimality gap, selected vertex-cover size into the formula and exposes every numerical step above. The main output is matching lower-bound size, accompanied by Reconstructed cover optimality gap.
Read the result correctly
The matching lower-bound size is the direct answer to “rearrange the vertex-cover matching lower-bound gap relationship and solve for matching lower-bound size.” Read it with the units shown beside the inputs; a sign, angle, percentage or rate changes what the number means.
A worked check
selected vertex-cover size=28 and matching lower-bound size=24 produce cover optimality gap=4.
Where this model stops being reliable
The matching and cover must refer to the same graph.
Learn it by changing one value
Begin with the worked example, then change one value while keeping the others fixed. Compare the new result and calculation steps to identify which part of the formula changed.
