%0 Journal Article %T Simple PTAS's for families of graphs excluding a minor %A Sergio Cabello %A David Gajser %J Computer Science %D 2014 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/j.dam.2015.03.004 %X We show that very simple algorithms based on local search are polynomial-time approximation schemes for Maximum Independent Set, Minimum Vertex Cover and Minimum Dominating Set, when the input graphs have a fixed forbidden minor. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1410.5778v2
