This work is motivated by the long-standing open problem of designing a polynomial-time algorithm that with high probability constructs an asymptotically maximum independent set in...

GSAT is a randomized greedy local repair procedure that was introduced for solving propositional satis ability and constraint satisfaction problems. We present an improvement to G...
Abstract. A Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) is a randomized heuristic that has produced high quality solutions for a wide range of combinatorial optimization pr...

Finding the largest clique in random graphs is a well known hard problem. It is known that a random graph G(n, 1/2) almost surely has a clique of size about 2 log n. A simple greed...
Let G be a d-regular graph with girth g, and let α be the independence number of G. We show that α(G) ≥ 1 2 1 − (d − 1)−2/(d−2) − (g) n where (g) → 0 as g → ∞,...
