Let G be a simple graph and let Ic(G) be its ideal of vertex covers. We give a graph theoretical description of the irreducible b-vertex covers of G, i.e., we describe the minimal generators of the symbolic Rees algebra of Ic(G). Then we study the irreducible b-vertex covers of the blocker of G, i.e...
