On Approximating Four Covering and Packing Problems
In this paper, we consider approximability issues of the following four problems: triangle packing, full sibling reconstruction, maximum profit coverage and 2-coverage. All of th...

Tight Bounds on the Approximability of Almost-satisfiable Horn SAT and Exact Hitting Set}
We study the approximability of two natural Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: Horn satisfiability and exact hitting set. Under the Unique Games conjecture, we prove the fo...

Approximability of the Maximum Solution Problem for Certain Families of Algebras
We study the approximability of the maximum solution problem. This problem is an optimisation variant of the constraint satisfaction problem and it captures a wide range of interes...

Approximability of Integer Programming with Generalised Constraints
We study a family of problems, called Maximum Solution, where the objective is to maximise a linear goal function over the feasible integer assignments to a set of variables subjec...
