Approximation hardness of dominating set problems in bounded degree graphs
We study approximation hardness of the Minimum Dominating Set problem and its variants in undirected and directed graphs. Using a similar result obtained by Trevisan for Minimum Set Cover we prove the first explicit approximation lower bounds for various kinds of domination problems (connected, total, independent) in bounded degree graphs. Asymptotically, for degree bound approaching infinity, ...
متن کاملApproximation hardness of edge dominating set problems
We provide the first interesting explicit lower bounds on efficient approximability for two closely related optimization problems in graphs, Minimum Edge Dominating Set and Minimum Maximal Matching. We show that it is NP-hard to approximate the solution of both problems to within any constant factor smaller than 7 6 . The result extends with negligible loss to bounded degree graphs and to every...
متن کاملImproved Approximations of Independent Dominating Set in Bounded Degree Graphs
We consider the problem of nding an independent dominating set of minimum cardinality in bounded degree and regular graphs. We rst give an approximation algorithm for at most cubic graphs, that achieves ratio 2, based on greedy and local search techniques. We then propose an heuristic based on an iterative application of the greedy technique on graphs of lower and lower degree. When the graph i...
متن کاملMinimum Dominating Set Approximation in Graphs of Bounded Arboricity
Since in general it is NP-hard to solve the minimum dominating set problem even approximatively, a lot of work has been dedicated to central and distributed approximation algorithms on restricted graph classes. In this paper, we compromise between generality and efficiency by considering the problem on graphs of small arboricity a. These family includes, but is not limited to, graphs excluding ...
متن کاملDistributed Approximation Algorithms for k-dominating Set in Graphs of Bounded Genus and Linklessly Embeddable Graphs
A k-dominating set in a graph G = (V,E) is a set U ⊆ V such that ever vertex of G is either in U or has at least k neighbors in U . In this paper we give simple distributed approximation algorithms in the local model for the minimum k-dominating set problem for k ≥ 2 in graphs with no K3,h-minor and graphs with no K4,4-minor. In particular, this gives fast distributed approximations for graphs ...
