Large independent sets in regular graphs of large girth
Let G be a d-regular graph with girth g, and let α be the independence number of G. We show that α(G) ≥ 1 2 1 − (d − 1)−2/(d−2) − (g) n where (g) → 0 as g → ∞,...

A Robust PTAS for Maximum Weight Independent Sets in Unit Disk Graphs
A unit disk graph is the intersection graph of unit disks in the euclidean plane. We present a polynomial-time approximation scheme for the maximum weight independent set problem i...

The Power of Orientation in Symmetry-Breaking
—Symmetry breaking is a fundamental operation in distributed computing. It has applications to important problems such as graph vertex and edge coloring, maximal independent sets...

Approximating minimum independent dominating sets in wireless networks
We present the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Minimum Independent Dominating Set problem in graphs of polynomially bounded growth. Graphs of bounded gr...

Approximating Independent Set in Semi-Random Graphs
We present an algorithm for the independent set problem on semi-random graphs, which are generated as follows: An adversary chooses an n-vertex graph, and then each edge is flipp...
