Structural Rounding: Approximation Algorithms for Graphs Near an Algorithmically Tractable Class
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
The idea is to edit a given graph via vertex- or edge-deletions to put the graph into an algorithmically tractable class, apply known approximation algorithms for that class, and then lift the solution ...
We develop a new framework for generalizing approximation algorithms from the structural graph algorithm literature so that they apply to graphs somewhat close to that class (a scenario we expect is common ...
Acknowledgments We thank Abida Haque and Adam Hesterberg for helpful initial discussions, Nicole Wein for providing helpful references on bounded degeneracy problems, and Michael O'Brien for helpful comments ...
