We study the Maximum Independent Set (MIS) problem on general graphs within the framework of learning-augmented algorithms. The MIS problem is known to be NP-hard and is also NP-hard to approximate to within a factor of $n^{1-\delta}$ for…
The Maximum Weight Independent Set (MWIS) problem is a well-known NP-hard problem. For graphs $G_1, G_2$, $G_1+G_2$ denotes the disjoint union of $G_1$ and $G_2$, and for a constant $l \ge 2$, $lG$ denotes the disjoint union of $l$ copies…
We consider the classic budgeted maximum weight independent set (BMWIS) problem. The input is a graph $G = (V,E)$, a weight function $w:V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$, a cost function $c:V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$, and a budget…
