A Local 2-Approximation Algorithm for the Vertex Cover Problem
We present a distributed 2-approximation algorithm for the minimum vertex cover problem. The algorithm is deterministic, and it runs in (∆ + 1)2 synchronous communication rounds,...

Local Maximal Matching and Local 2-Approximation for Vertex Cover in UDGs
We present 1 − approximation algorithms for the maximum matching problem in location aware unit disc graphs and in growth-bounded graphs. The algorithm for unit disk graph is loc...

A Primal-Dual Approximation Algorithm for Partial Vertex Cover: Making Educated Guesses
We study the partial vertex cover problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a weight function w : V → R+ , and an integer s, our goal is to cover all but s edges, by picking a set of v...

Vertex Cover Approximations on Random Graphs
Abstract. The vertex cover problem is a classical NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is 2− o(1). In this paper, we use a collection of simple g...
