Approximation 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 کاملApproximation 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 کاملParameterized approximation of dominating set problems
A problem open for many years is whether there is an FPT algorithm that given a graph G and parameter k, either: (1) determines that G has no k-Dominating Set, or (2) produces a dominating set of size at most g(k), where g(k) is some fixed function of k. Such an outcome is termed an FPT approximation algorithm. We describe some results that begin to provide some answers. We show that there is n...

متن کاملEdge-Dominating Set Problem
We study the approximability of the weighted edge-dominating set problem. Although even the unweighted case is NP-Complete, in this case a solution of size at most twice the minimum can be efficiently computed due to its close relationship with minimum maximal matching; however, in the weighted case such a nice relationship is not known to exist. In this paper, after showing that weighted edge ...
