Hardness results for approximating the bandwidth
The bandwidth of an n-vertex graph G is the minimum value b such that the vertices of G can be mapped to distinct integer points on a line without any edge being stretched to a di...

Improved Inapproximability For Submodular Maximization
We show that it is Unique Games-hard to approximate the maximum of a submodular function to within a factor 0.695, and that it is Unique Games-hard to approximate the maximum of a ...
