Hardness of Approximating the Minimum Distance of a Linear Code
We show that the minimum distance of a linear code is not approximable to within any constant factor in random polynomial time (RP), unless nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) eq...

Circular partitions with applications to visualization and embeddings
We introduce a hierarchical partitioning scheme of the Euclidean plane, called circular partitions. Such a partition consists of a hierarchy of convex polygons, each having small ...

Approximating node connectivity problems via set covers
Given a graph (directed or undirected) with costs on the edges, and an integer k, we consider the problem of nding a k-node connected spanning subgraph of minimum cost. For the ge...

On the set multi-cover problem in geometric settings
We consider the set multi-cover problem in geometric settings. Given a set of points P and a collection of geometric shapes (or sets) F, we wish to nd a minimum cardinality subse...

"Almost Stable" Matchings in the Roommates Problem
An instance of the classical Stable Roommates problem (sr) need not admit a stable matching. This motivates the problem of finding a matching that is “as stable as possible”, ...
