Randomized Greedy Algorithms for Independent Sets and Matchings in Regular Graphs: Exact Results and Finite Girth Corrections

We derive new results for the performance of a simple greedy algorithm for finding large independent sets and matchings in constant degree regular graphs. We show that for r-regular graphs with n nodes and girth at least g, the algorithm finds an independent set of expected cardinality f(r)n-O((r-1)...
