Abstract.
We consider the approximating behaviour of greedy algorithms, in terms of
performance ratios, for the maximum independent set and minimum maximal
matching problems, two classical
NP-hard problems. The main results tend to confirm our observation
that the performance of algorithms in almost every-case is generally
much better than worst-case
performance. In particular, we show that for almost every instance
of the minimum maximal matching problem the greedy algorithm finds
a feasible solution that is near-optimal.
