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...

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...

On Approximating Minimum Vertex Cover for Graphs with Perfect Matching
It has been a challenging open problem whether there is a polynomial time approximation algorithm for the Vertex Cover problem whose approximation ratio is bounded by a constant l...

Vertex and Edge Covers with Clustering Properties: Complexity and Algorithms
We consider the concepts of a t-total vertex cover and a t-total edge cover (t 1), which generalize the notions of a vertex cover and an edge cover, respectively. A t-total verte...
