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, where ∆ is the maximum degree of the graph. For ∆ = 3, we give a 2-approximation algorithm also for the weighted version of the problem.
