We also show limitations on approximation of sequential token swapping on trees: we identify a broad class of algorithms that encompass all three known polynomial-time algorithms that achieve the best known approximation factor (which is $2$) and show that no such algorithm can achieve an approximation factor less than $2$.

Algorithms for the Minimum Dominating Set Problem in Bounded Arboricity Graphs: Simpler, Faster, and Combinatorial

no code implementations19 Feb 2021 Adir Morgan, Shay Solomon, Nicole Wein

In the centralized setting, we provide a surprisingly simple combinatorial algorithm that is asymptotically optimal in terms of both approximation factor and running time: an $O(\alpha)$-approximation in linear time.
