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,...

The importance of being biased
The Minimum Vertex Cover problem is the problem of, given a graph, finding a smallest set of vertices that touches all edges. We show that it is NP-hard to approximate this proble...

An improved constant-time approximation algorithm for maximum~matchings
This paper studies constant-time approximation algorithms for problems on degree-bounded graphs. Let n and d be the number of vertices and the degree bound, respectively. This pap...
