An improved constant-time approximation algorithm for maximum~matchings
This paper studies constant-time approximation algorithms for problems on degree-bounded graphs. Let n and d be the number of vertices and the degree bound, respectively. This pap...

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...
