Abstract

In this paper we consider the following problem. Given is a d-claw free graph G = (V; E;w) where w: V → R₊. Our algorithm finds an independent set A such that w(A *)/w(A) ≤ d/2 where A * is an independent that maximizes w(A *). The previous best polynomial time approximation algorithm obtained w(A *)/w(A) ≤ 2d/3.
