Performance Analysis of Greedy Algorithms for Max-IS and Min-Maxl-Match 

Le Cong Thanh

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.
