Popis:	It is known that any vertex cover of the generalized Petersen graph P ( n , k ) has size at least n . Behsaz, Hatami and Mahmoodian characterized such graphs with minimum vertex cover numbers n and n + 1 , and those with k ≤ 3 . For k ≥ 4 and n ≥ 2 k + 2 , we prove that if the 2-adic valuation of n is less than or equal to that of k , then the minimum vertex cover number of P ( n , k ) equals n + 2 if and only if n ∈ { 2 k + 2 , 3 k − 1 , 3 k + 1 } .
