A simple local 3-approximation algorithm for vertex cover

arXiv:0810.2175 · doi:10.1016/j.ipl.2009.02.017

Abstract

We present a local algorithm (constant-time distributed algorithm) for finding a 3-approximate vertex cover in bounded-degree graphs. The algorithm is deterministic, and no auxiliary information besides port numbering is required.
