Packing Parameters in Graphs

I. Sahul Hamid, S. Saravanakumar (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In a graph G = (V,E), a non-empty set S ⊆ V is said to be an open packing set if no two vertices of S have a common neighbour in G. An open packing set which is not a proper subset of any open packing set is called a maximal open packing set. The minimum and maximum cardinalities of a maximal open packing set are respectively called the lower open packing number and the open packing number and are denoted by ρoL and ρo. In this paper, we present some bounds on these parameters. ...

Primal-dual approximation algorithms for a packing-covering pair of problems

Sofia Kovaleva, Frits C.R. Spieksma (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

We consider a special packing-covering pair of problems. The packing problem is a natural generalization of finding a (weighted) maximum independent set in an interval graph, the covering problem generalizes the problem of finding a (weighted) minimum clique cover in an interval graph. The problem pair involves weights and capacities; we consider the case of unit weights and the case of unit capacities. In each case we describe a simple algorithm that outputs a solution to the packing...
