Efficient Distributed Weighted Matchings on Trees

Abstract: Wattenhofer et al.[WW04] derive a complicated distributed algorithm to compute a weighted matching of an arbitrary weighted graph, that is at most a factor 5 away from the maximum weighted matching of that graph. We show that a variant of the obvious sequential greedy algorithm [Pre99], that computes a weighted matching at most a factor 2 away from the maximum, is easily distributed. This yields the best known distributed approximation algorithm for this problem so far.

“…In the special case of trees, Hoepman et al [12] showed that a ( − )-MCM can be computed in expected constant time [12]. Hoepman [11] has shown that a 1 2 -MWM can be computed deterministically in O(n) time.…”

“…Some community metrics, including modularity [24], form NP-complete optimization problems, so additional work improving the matching may not produce better results. Our approach follows existing parallel algorithms [25], [26]. Differences appear in mapping the matching algorithm to our data structures and platforms.…”

“…The algorithm is equivalent to a different ordering of existing parallel algorithms [25], [26] and also produces a maximal matching with weight (total score) within a factor of two of the maximum.…”

“…The MWIS algorithm operates on the interference graph and since it is a greedy algorithm, it can be easily implemented in a distributed manner (e.g. the algorithm of [9] that can be applied to a network with primary interference constraints). As in the single-hop case and as in [18], the algorithm is independent of the global network topology and traffic statistics.…”

“…In particular, they consider a graph of interfering queues 4 and study the performance of a greedy maximal weight scheduling algorithm (termed Longest Queue First -LQF) that selects the set of served queues greedily according to the queue lengths. They present sufficient conditions for such an algorithm to provide 100% throughput (notice that unlike a maximum weight solution a maximal weight solution can be easily obtained in a distributed manner [9]). These conditions are referred to as Local Pooling (LoP) and are related to the properties of all maximal independent sets in the conflict graph.…”
