A Parallel Approximation Algorithm for the Weighted Maximum Matching Problem
Abstract. We consider the problem of computing a weighted edge matching in a large graph using a parallel algorithm. This problem has application in several areas of combinatorial ...

Simple Distributed Weighted Matchings
Wattenhofer et al. [WW04] derive a complicated distributed algorithm to compute a weighted matching of an arbitrary weighted graph, that is at most a factor 5 away from the maximu...

Max-Product for Maximum Weight Matching: Convergence, Correctness, and LP Duality
Abstract--Max-product "belief propagation" (BP) is an iterative, message-passing algorithm for finding the maximum a posteriori (MAP) assignment of a discrete probability...

Packing r-Cliques in Weighted Chordal Graphs
In Hell et al. (2004), we have previously observed that, in a chordal graph G, the maximum number of independent r-cliques (i.e., of vertex disjoint subgraphs of G, each isomorphic...

Constant-Time Approximation Algorithms via Local Improvements
We present a technique for transforming classical approximation algorithms into constant-time algorithms that approximate the size of the optimal solution. Our technique is applic...
