Thank you for painting such a clear picture of something I struggled to understand!

I'm not sure which part of my comprehension went wrong, but what makes vertex cover different from dominating set? They seem pretty much the same.

Any approximate time in the future you are thinking of covering Approximation Algorithms?

Am I wrong in saying that the independent set is the graph compliment of clique, while the independent set is the vertex complement of vertex over?

What about partial reductions to restricted 2sats to deduce restricted 3sats that make it easy to solve the main 3sat problem. To fiddly and approach for humans but not ai.

Why we need 3 nodes for vertex cover we could do in 2 also. 6 and 3. why 4 is there ? 6 is connected to 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 3 is connected to 7 and 5

If a problem is NP-Hard, does that make it automatically np-complete?

what is, , between two things not in the set? and to something not in the set? are they both not different ? at 3:55

how are you telling a independent set? there is no edge between 6 and 3, isnt it also a independent set?, why didnt you include it ? at 0:38
