Approximating the Maximum Independent Set and Minimum Vertex Coloring on Box Graphs
[chapter]
Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management
We show that for box graphs on n vertices which have an independent set of size Ω(n/ log O(1) n) the maximum independent set problem can be approximated within O(log n/ log log n) in polynomial time. ...
Furthermore, we show that the chromatic number of a box graph on n vertices is within an O(log n) factor from the size of its maximum clique and provide an O(log n) approximation algorithm for minimum ...
overlap, one can generalize the divide and conquer k-line technique for maximum independent set (see Section 2) to include minimum vertex coloring in order to obtain an O(log k+1 n) approximation factor ...

Local approximation schemes for ad hoc and sensor networks
2005
Proceedings of the 2005 joint workshop on Foundations of mobile computing - DIALM-POMC '05
We present two local approaches that yield polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTAS) for the Maximum Independent Set and Minimum Dominating Set problem in unit disk graphs. ...
The time complexity of both algorithms is O(T MIS + log * n/ε O(1) ), where T MIS is the time required to compute a maximal independent set in the graph, and n denotes the number of nodes. ...
For instance, a maximal independent set (MIS) is a constant approximation for minimum dominating set and for maximum independent set and a (∆+1)-coloring is a constant approximation for minimum vertex ...

New approximation algorithms for graph coloring
1994
Journal of the ACM
The previous best upper bound on the number of colors needed for coloring 3-colorable n-vertex graphs in polynomial time was 0(~/ -) colors by Berger and Rompel, improvmg a bound of O(w) colors by Wigderson ...
This paper explores the approximation problem of coloring k-colorable graphs with as few additional colors as possible m polynomial time, with special focus on the case of k == 3. ...
Graph coloring is also closely related to other combinatorial problems such as finding the maximum independent set in a graph (the largest set of vertices such that no two have an edge between them). ...
