Abstract

We first propose a formal definition for the concept of probabilistic combinatorial optimization problem (under the a priori method). Next, we study the complexity of optimally solving probabilistic maximum independent set problem under several a priori optimization strategies as well as the complexity of approximating optimal solutions. For the different strategies studied, we present results about the restriction of probabilistic independent set on bipartite graphs.
