Approximation Algorithms for Wireless Link Scheduling With SINR-Based Interference
In this paper, we consider the classical problem of link scheduling in wireless networks under an accurate interference model, in which correct packet reception at a receiver node ...

On the Hardness of Approximating Multicut and Sparsest-Cut
We show that the Multicut, Sparsest-Cut, and Min-2CNF≡ Deletion problems are NP-hard to approximate within every constant factor, assuming the Unique Games Conjecture of Khot [S...

Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1 - 1/e
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...

An O(log k) Approximate Min-Cut Max-Flow Theorem and Approximation Algorithm
It is shown that the minimum cut ratio is within a factor of O(log k) of the maximum concurrent flow for k-commodity flow instances with arbitrary capacities and demands. This im...

Approximating the Crossing Number of Graphs Embeddable in Any Orientable Surface
The crossing number of a graph is the least number of pairwise edge crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. We provide an O(n log n) time constant factor approximation al...
