Fast distributed approximation algorithms for vertex cover and set cover in anonymous networks
We present a distributed algorithm that finds a maximal edge packing in O(∆ + log∗ W) synchronous communication rounds in a weighted graph, independent of the number of nodes...

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,...

Approximating Maximum Weight Cycle Covers in Directed Graphs with Weights Zero and One
A cycle cover of a graph is a spanning subgraph each node of which is part of exactly one simple cycle. A k-cycle cover is a cycle cover where each cycle has length at least k. Gi...

A primal-dual interpretation of two 2-approximation algorithms for the feedback vertex set problem in undirected graphs
Recently, Becker and Geiger and Bafna, Berman and Fujito gave 2-approximation algorithms for the feedback vertex set problem in undirected graphs. We show how their algorithms can...

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...
