We present a set of approximation results for several covering problems in dense graphs. These results show that for several problems, classical algorithms with constant approximation ratios can be analyzed in a finer way, and provide better constant approximation ratios under some density constraints. In particular, we show that the maximal matching heuristic approximates VERTEX COVER (VC) and MINIMUM MAXIMAL MATCHING (MMM) with a constant ratio strictly smaller than 2 when the proportion of edges present in the graph (weak density) is at least 3/4, or when the normalized minimum degree (strong density) is at least 1/2. We also show that this result can be improved by a greedy algorithm which provides a constant ratio smaller than 2 when t...
