Abstract
We consider the weighted feedback vertex set problem for undirected graphs. It is shown that a generalized local ratio strategy leads to an efficient approximation with the performance guarantee of twice the optimal, improving the previous results for both weighted and unweighted cases. We further elaborate our approach to treat the case when graphs are of bounded degree, and show that it achieves even better performance, 2−2/3Δ−2, where Δ is the maximum degree of graphs.
