The PPAD-completeness of Nash equilibrium computation is taken as evidence that the problem is computationally hard in the worst case. This evidence is necessarily rather weak, in ...
In the 0-extension problem, we are given a weighted graph with some nodes marked as terminals and a semimetric on the set of terminals. Our goal is to assign the rest of the nodes ...
We consider labeled Traveling Salesman Problems, defined upon a complete graph of n vertices with colored edges. The objective is to find a tour of maximum or minimum number of co...
Abstract. We present hardness results, approximation heuristics, and exact algorithms for bottleneck labeled optimization problems arising in the context of graph theory. This long...
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs PCPs the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on prov...
