A 2-packing set for an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $\mathcal{S} \subset V$ such that any two vertices $v_1,v_2 \in \mathcal{S}$ have no common neighbors. Finding a 2-packing set of maximum cardinality is a NP-hard problem. We…

Constructing a spanning tree of a graph is one of the most basic tasks in graph theory. We consider a relaxed version of this problem in the setting of local algorithms. The relaxation is that the constructed subgraph is a sparse spanning…
