PTAS for maximum weight independent set problem with random weights in bounded degree graphs
Finding the largest independent set in a graph is a notoriously difficult NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem. Moreover, even for graphs with largest degree 3, no polyn...

Improved Approximation Guarantees for Weighted Matching in the Semi-Streaming Model
ABSTRACT. We study the maximum weight matching problem in the semi-streaming model, and improve on the currently best one-pass algorithm due to Zelke (Proc. STACS '08, pages 6...

An Approximation Algorithm for Weighted Weak Vertex Cover Problem in Undirected Graphs
The problem of efficiently monitoring the network flow is regarded as the one to find out the minimum weighted weak vertex cover set for a given graph G = (V, E) with weight func...
