摘要
We consider the maximum (weight) independent set problem in unit disk graphs. The high complexity of the existing polynomial-time approximation schemes motivated the development of faster constant approximation algorithms. In this paper, we present a 2.16-approximation algorithm that runs in O(nlog(2)n) time and a 2-approximation algorithm that runs in O(n(2) log n) time for the unweighted version of the problem. In the weighted version, the running times increase by an O(log n) factor. Our algorithms are based on a classic strip decomposition, but we improve over previous algorithms by efficiently using geometric data structures. We also propose a PTAS for the unweighted version.
