Approximating Independent Set in Semi-Random Graphs

چکیده
We present an algorithm for the independent set problem on semi-random graphs, which are generated as follows: An adversary chooses an n-vertex graph, and then each edge is flipped independently with a probability of ε > 0. Our algorithm runs in expected polynomial time and guarantees an approximation ratio of roughly O( √ nε), which beats the inapproximability bounds.

Approximating independent set in perturbed graphs
For the maximum independent set problem, strong inapproximability bounds for worst-case efficient algorithms exist. We give a deterministic algorithm beating these bounds, with polynomial expected running-time for semi-random graphs: An adversary chooses a graph with n vertices, and then edges are flipped with a probability of ε. Our algorithm guarantees an approximation ratio of O( √ nε) for s...
متن کاملGreedy Algorithms for Minimisation Problems in Random Regular Graphs
In this paper we introduce a general strategy for approximating the solution to minimisation problems in random regular graphs. We describe how the approach can be applied to the minimum vertex cover (MVC), minimum independent dominating set (MIDS) and minimum edge dominating set (MEDS) problems. In almost all cases we are able to improve the best known results for these problems. Results for t...
متن کاملHeuristics for Finding Large Independent Sets, with Applications to Coloring Semi-Random Graphs
We study a semi-random graph model for finding independent sets. For > 0, an n-vertex graph with an independent set S of size n is constructed by blending random and adversarial decisions. Randomly and independently with probability p, each pair of vertices, such that one is in S and the other is not, is connected by an edge. An adversary can then add edges arbitrarily (provided that S remains ...
متن کاملIndependent domination in directed graphs
In this paper we initialize the study of independent domination in directed graphs. We show that an independent dominating set of an orientation of a graph is also an independent dominating set of the underlying graph, but that the converse is not true in general. We then prove existence and uniqueness theorems for several classes of digraphs including orientations of complete graphs, paths, tr...
متن کاملINDEPENDENT SETS OF SOME GRAPHS ASSOCIATED TO COMMUTATIVE RINGS
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A set $Ssubseteq V$ isindependent set of $G$, if no two vertices of $S$ are adjacent.The independence number $alpha(G)$ is the size of a maximumindependent set in the graph. In this paper we study and characterize the independent sets ofthe zero-divisor graph $Gamma(R)$ and ideal-based zero-divisor graph $Gamma_I(R)$of a commutative ring $R$.
