A new multilayered PCP and the hardness of hypergraph vertex cover
Given a k-uniform hypergraph, the Ek-Vertex-Cover problem is to find the smallest subset of vertices that intersects every hyperedge. We present a new multilayered PCP constructi...

Approximating rooted Steiner networks
The Directed Steiner Tree (DST) problem is a cornerstone problem in network design. We focus on the generalization of the problem with higher connectivity requirements. The proble...

Hardness of Directed Routing with Congestion
Given a graph G and a collection of source-sink pairs in G, what is the least integer c such that each source can be connected by a path to its sink, with at most c paths going th...

A fully polynomial time approximation scheme for timing driven minimum cost buffer insertion
As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay has become the bottleneck of the circuit timing. As one of the most powerful techniques for interconnect optimiz...

Lattice problems and norm embeddings
We present reductions from lattice problems in the 2 norm to the corresponding problems in other norms such as 1, (and in fact in any other p norm where 1 p ). We consider latt...
