Performance Analysis of Greedy Algorithms for
Max-IS and Min-Maxl-Match

Abstract. We consider the approximating
behaviour of greedy algorithms, in terms of performance ratios, for the
maximum independent set and minimum maximal matching problems, two
classical NP-hard problems. The main results tend to confirm our
observation that the performance of algorithms in almost every-case is
generally much better than worst-case performance. In particular, we show
that for almost every instance of the minimum maximal matching problem the
greedy algorithm finds a feasible solution that is near-optimal.
