Towards Maximum Independent Sets on Massive Graphs
Summary: Studies MIS in the semi-external model, where vertices fit in RAM but edges reside on disk. A greedy algorithm plus vertex-swap framework uses few sequential scans, achieving near-optimal solutions on 59M-vertex graphs with 469MB memory. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
