This paper presents polynomial-time approximation algorithms for the problem of computing a maximum independent set in a given map graph G with or without weights on its vertices. If G is given together with a map, then a ratio of 1+δ can be achieved in O(n2) time for any given constant δ > 0, no matter whether each vertex of G is given a weight or not. In case G is given without a map, a ratio of 4 can be achieved in O(n7) time if no vertex is given a weight, while a ratio of O(log n) can be achieved in O(n7 log n) time otherwise. Behind the design of our algorithms are several fundamental results for map graphs; these results can be used to design good approximation algorithms for coloring and vertex cover in map graphs, and may find applications to other problems on map graphs as well.
