We study the polynomial time approximation of the max k-vertex cover problem in bipartite graphs and propose a purely combinatorial algorithm that beats the only such known algorithm, namely the greedy approach. We present a computer-assisted analysis of our algorithm, establishing that the worst case approximation guarantee is bounded below by 0.821.
