What can be approximated locally?
2008
Proceedings of the twentieth annual symposium on Parallelism in algorithms and architectures - SPAA '08
In this technical report, we present the first 1 distributed algorithm approximating a minimum dominating set on a planar graph within a constant factor in constant time. ...
Whether local algorithms can compute constant approximations of NP-hard problems is of both practical and theoretical interest. ...
We present a constant-time constant-approximation local algorithm for the minimum dominating set problem on planar graphs (shown to be NP-complete in [11] ). ...

Linear-Time Computation of a Linear Problem Kernel for Dominating Set on Planar Graphs
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In addition, a minimum dominating set for G can be inferred from a minimum dominating set for G . ...
In terms of parameterized algorithmics, this implies a linear-size problem kernel for the NP-hard Dominating Set problem on planar graphs, where the kernelization takes linear time. ...
Conclusion Our work is meant to provide a first case study, using the well-known kernelization of Dominating Set on planar graphs, on how known kernelization algorithms can be tuned for better time performance ...

Survey of local algorithms
2013
ACM Computing Surveys
When we study local algorithms, we assume that the problem instance is given in a distributed manner: each node in the communication graph G knows part of the input. ...
Being highly scalable and fault-tolerant, such algorithms are ideal in the operation of large-scale distributed systems. ...
Acknowledgements This is the author's version of the work; the definitive version will be published in ACM Computing Surveys [136] . ...

Dominating Sets and Local Treewidth
[chapter]
2003
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
An interesting question motivating our study is if similar bounds can be obtained for larger minor closed graph families. ...
It is known that the treewidth of a planar graph with a dominating set of size d is O( √ d) and this fact is used as the basis for several fixed parameter algorithms on planar graphs. ...
Also the classical Baker's technique [4] for obtaining approximation schemes on planar graphs for different NP hard problems can be generalized to minor closed families of bounded local treewidth. ...

Optimality of Geometric Local Search
2018
International Symposium on Computational Geometry
We show that in fact the approximation guarantee of local search cannot be improved for any of these problems. ...
This included the existence of polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTASs) for hitting set, set cover, dominating set, independent set, and other problems for some basic geometric objects. ...
Introduction Within the past decade polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTASs) have been proposed for a number of long-standing open problems in geometric approximation algorithms, including the following ...

This should be distinguished from local shape in pictorial space. The difference is categorical. ...
Local solid shape applies to the surface curvature of small surface patches-essentially regions of approximately constant curvatures-of volumetric objects that are smooth volumetric regions in Euclidean ...
Of course, the planar case is singular, occurring with probability zero. 5 We will ignore it in this study. ...

Local search: Is brute-force avoidable?
2012
Journal of computer and system sciences (Print)
Many local search algorithms are based on searching in the k-exchange neighborhood. This is the set of solutions that can be obtained from the current solution by exchanging at most k elements. ...
In particular, on planar graphs, all our algorithms searching for a k-local improvement run in time O(2 O(k) · n 2 ), which is polynomial for k = O(log n). ...
This is the case for the problems Vertex Cover, Independent Set, Dominating Set, Edge Dominating Set, and Minimum Maximal Matching, to name a few that we explore in this paper. ...
