Abstract:We study the Partial Degree Bounded Edge Packing (PDBEP) problem introduced in [5] by Zhang. They have shown that this problem is NP-Hard even for uniform degree constraint. They also presented approximation algorithms for the case when all the vertices have degree constraint of 1 and 2 with approximation ratio of 2 and 32/11 respectively. In this work we study general degree constraint case (arbitrary degree constraint for each vertex) and present two combinatorial approximation algorithms with approximation … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
