Message Passing for Maximum Weight Independent Set

In this paper, we investigate the use of message-passing algorithms for the problem of finding the max-weight independent set (MWIS) in a graph. First, we study the performance of the classical loopy max-product belief propagation. We show that each fixed-point estimate of max product can be mapped...
