Distributed CONGEST approximation of weighted vertex covers and matchings

S Faour, M Fuchs, F Kuhn - arxiv preprint arxiv:2111.10577, 2021 - arxiv.org
We provide CONGEST model algorithms for approximating minimum weighted vertex cover
and the maximum weighted matching. For bipartite graphs, we show that a $(1+\varepsilon) …
