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...
Algorithms based on local search are popular for solving many optimization problems including the maximum satisfiability problem (MAXSAT). With regard to MAXSAT, the state of the ...
In unweighted case, approximation ratio for the independent set problem has been analyzed in terms of the graph parameters, such as the number of vertices, maximum degree, and aver...
A normalized, power-weighted averaging filter (NPF) is a very good approximation to the well-know local maximum and minimum filters along the object edges and offers noise reducti...
Abstract. In this paper we consider a generalization of the edge dominating set (EDS) problem, in which each edge e needs to be covered be times and refer to this as the b-EDS prob...
