Weighted Matching in the Semi-Streaming Model

Discrete Mathematics 2008-02-25 v1 Data Structures and Algorithms

Abstract

We reduce the best known approximation ratio for finding a weighted matching of a graph using a one-pass semi-streaming algorithm from 5.828 to 5.585. The semi-streaming model forbids random access to the input and restricts the memory to O(n*polylog(n)) bits. It was introduced by Muthukrishnan in 2003 and is appropriate when dealing with massive graphs.
