PTAS for maximum weight independent set problem with random weights in bounded degree graphs

Finding the largest independent set in a graph is a notoriously difficult NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem. Moreover, even for graphs with largest degree 3, no polynomial time approximation algorithm exists with a 1.0071-factor approximation guarantee, unless P = NP [BK98]. We consider...
