Abstract

Local search vs. LP for Matroid Matching

Jon Lee

University of Michigan

We give a simple local-search based PTAS for classical matroid matching/parity in the oracle model, and we demonstrate that well-studied LP formulation are hopeless for construction of polynomial-time approximations. Joint work
with Maxim Sviridenko and Jan Vondrak.
