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,...

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...

Distributed algorithms for covering, packing and maximum weighted matching
Abstract This paper gives poly-logarithmic-round, distributed δ-approximation algorithms for covering problems with submodular cost and monotone covering constraints (Submodular-c...

Pareto Complexity of Two-Parameter FPT Problems: A Case Study for Partial Vertex Cover
We describe a framework for expressing the complexity of algorithms for FPT problems with two separate parameters k, m and with exponential time bounds O∗ (xk ym ) where x, y &g...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for Label Cover Problems
In this paper we consider both the maximization variant Max Rep and the minimization variant Min Rep of the famous Label Cover problem, for which, till now, the best approximation ...
