A Linear Round Lower Bound for Lovasz-Schrijver SDP Relaxations of Vertex Cover
We study semidefinite programming relaxations of Vertex Cover arising from repeated applications of the LS+ “lift-and-project” method of Lovasz and Schrijver starting from th...

Truthful and Near-Optimal Mechanism Design via Linear Programming
We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...

Multicommodity Demand Flow in a Tree
We consider requests for capacity in a given tree network T = (V, E) where each edge of the tree has some integer capacity ue. Each request consists of an integer demand df and a ...

On linear and semidefinite programming relaxations for hypergraph matching
The hypergraph matching problem is to find a largest collection of disjoint hyperedges in a hypergraph. This is a well-studied problem in combinatorial optimization and graph theo...

Sherali-adams relaxations of the matching polytope
We study the Sherali-Adams lift-and-project hierarchy of linear programming relaxations of the matching polytope. Our main result is an asymptotically tight expression 1 + 1/k for...
