- W3104014928 abstract "Suppose that finding the solution to a problem is P-complete. It is natural to ask if it is any easier to obtain an approximate solution. For decision problems this might mean considering the corresponding combinatorial optimization problem. That is, a problem in which we try to minimize or maximize a given quantity. As one might expect from the theory of NP-completeness, the answer is both yes (for example in the case of Bin Packing, Problem A.4.7) and no (for example in the case of the Lexicographically First Maximal Independent Set Size Problem, see Lemma 10.2.2.). There are several motivations for developing good NC approximation algorithms. First, in all likelihood P-complete problems cannot be solved fast in parallel. Therefore, it may be useful to approximate them quickly in parallel. Second, problems that are P- complete but that can be approximated well seem to be special boundary cases. Perhaps by examining these types of problems more closely we can improve our understanding of parallelism. Third, it is important to build a theoretical foundation for studying and classifying additional approximation problems. Finally, it may be possible to speed up sequential approximation algorithms, of NP-complete problems, using fast parallel approximations. Our goal in this section is to develop the basic theory of parallel approximation algorithms. We begin by showing that certain P-complete problems are not amenable to NC approximation algorithms. Later we present examples of P-complete problems that can be approximated well in parallel. We start by considering the Lexicographically First Maximal Independent Set Problem, introduced in Definition 7.1.1, and proven P-complete in Problem A.2.1. As defined, LFMIS it is not directly amenable to approximation. We can phrase the problem in terms of computing the size of the independent set. Definition 10.2.1 Lexicographically First Maximal Independent Set Size (LFMISsize) Given: An undirected graph G = (V, E) with an ordering on the vertices and an integer k. Problem: Is the size of the lexicographically first maximal independent set of G less than or equal to k ? The following lemma shows that computing just the size of the lexicographically first maximal independent set is P-complete." @default.
