In this paper, we consider the problems of enumerating minimal vertex covers and minimal dominating sets with capacity and/or connectivity constraints. We develop polynomial-delay enumeration algorithms for these problems on bounded-degree graphs. For the case of minimal connected vertex cover, our algorithm runs in polynomial delay even on the class of d-claw free graphs, which extends the result on bounded-degree graphs. To complement these algorithmic results, we show that the problems of enumerating minimal connected vertex covers and minimal capacitated vertex covers in bipartite graphs are at least as hard as enumerating minimal transversals in hypergraphs.
