Abstract

The vertex-disjoint triangles (VDT) problem asks for a set of maximum number of pairwise vertex-disjoint triangles in a given graph G. The triangle cover problem asks for the existence of a perfect triangle packing in a graph G. It is known that the triangle cover problem is NP-complete on general graphs with clique number 3 [6]. The VDT problem is MAX SNP-hard on graphs with maximum degree four, while it can be approximated within 3/2+e, for any e > 0, in polynomial time [11].
