Wattenhofer et al. [WW04] derive a complicated distributed algorithm to compute a weighted matching of an arbitrary weighted graph, that is at most a factor 5 away from the maximu...
In this paper we will consider tight upper- and lower-bounds on the weight of the optimal matching for random point sets distributed among the leaves of a tree, as a function of it...
We present a systematic study of approximation algorithms for the maximum weight matching problem. This includes a new algorithm which provides the simple greedy method with a rece...
Abstract. In this paper, we present fast and fully distributed algorithms for matching in weighted trees and general weighted graphs. The time complexity as well as the approximati...
Abstract This paper gives poly-logarithmic-round, distributed δ-approximation algorithms for covering problems with submodular cost and monotone covering constraints (Submodular-c...
