Abstract

We investigate the minimum independent dominating set in perturbed graphs of input graph G = (V, E), obtained by negating the existence of edges independently with a probability p > 0. The minimum independent dominating set (MIDS) problem does not admit a polynomial running time approximation algorithm with worst-case performance ratio of n 1-ε for any ε > 0. We prove that the size of the minimum independent dominating set in, denoted as, is asymptotically almost surely in Θ(log|V|). Furthermore, we show that the probability of is no more than 2-|V|, and present a simple greedy algorithm of proven worst-case performance ratio and with polynomial expected running time.
