چکیده
In this paper we consider the approximability of the maximum induced matching problem (MIM). We give an approximation algorithm with asymptotic performance ratio d − 1 for MIM in d-regular graphs, for each d ≥ 3. We also prove that MIM is APXcomplete in d-regular graphs, for each d ≥ 3.

On the inverse maximum perfect matching problem under the bottleneck-type Hamming distance
Given an undirected network G(V,A,c) and a perfect matching M of G, the inverse maximum perfect matching problem consists of modifying minimally the elements of c so that M becomes a maximum perfect matching with respect to the modified vector. In this article, we consider the inverse problem when the modifications are measured by the weighted bottleneck-type Hamming distance. We propose an alg...
متن کاملOn Complexity and Approximability of the Labeled Maximum/Perfect Matching Problems
In this paper, we deal with both the complexity and the approximability of the labeled perfect matching problem in bipartite graphs. Given a simple graph G = (V, E) with n vertices with a color (or label) function L : E → {c1, . . . , cq}, the labeled maximum matching problem consists in finding a maximum matching on G that uses a minimum or a maximum number of colors.
متن کاملApproximability results for the maximum and minimum maximal induced matching problems
An induced matching M of a graph G is a set of pairwise non-adjacent edges such that their end-vertices induce a 1-regular subgraph. An induced matching M is maximal if no other induced matching contains M . The MINIMUM MAXIMAL INDUCED MATCHING problem asks for a minimum maximal induced matching in a given graph. The problem is known to be NP-complete. Here we show that, if P 6= NP, for any ε >...
متن کاملThe matching interdiction problem in dendrimers
The purpose of the matching interdiction problem in a weighted graph is to find two vertices such that the weight of the maximum matching in the graph without these vertices is minimized. An approximate solution for this problem has been presented. In this paper, we consider dendrimers as graphs such that the weights of edges are the bond lengths. We obtain the maximum matching in some types of...
متن کاملON THE MATCHING NUMBER OF AN UNCERTAIN GRAPH
Uncertain graphs are employed to describe graph models with indeterministicinformation that produced by human beings. This paper aims to study themaximum matching problem in uncertain graphs.The number of edges of a maximum matching in a graph is called matching numberof the graph. Due to the existence of uncertain edges, the matching number of an uncertain graph is essentially an uncertain var...
