Abstract

The notion of a tolerance is a helpful tool for designing approximation and exact algorithms for solving combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper we suggest a tolerance-based polynomial heuristic algorithm for the weighted independent set problem. Several computational experiments show that our heuristics works very well on graphs of a small density.
