摘要
We first study a generalization of the Konig-Egervary graphs, the class of the kappa-KE graphs, and propose an exact polynomial time algorithm solving maximum independent set problem in this class. Next, we show how this result can be efficiently used to devise polynomial time approximation algorithms with improved approximation ratios for the maximum independent set problem in general graphs.
