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 ...

The Complexity of Bottleneck Labeled Graph Problems
Abstract. We present hardness results, approximation heuristics, and exact algorithms for bottleneck labeled optimization problems arising in the context of graph theory. This long...

Lower Bounds for Maximum Parsimony with Gene Order Data
Abstract. In this paper, we study lower bound techniques for branchand-bound algorithms for maximum parsimony, with a focus on gene order data. We give a simple O(n3 ) time dynamic...

Near-Optimal Conversion of Hardness into Pseudo-Randomness
Various efforts ([?, ?, ?]) have been made in recent years to derandomize probabilistic algorithms using the complexity theoretic assumption that there exists a problem in E = dti...

On the Complexity of Approximating the VC Dimension
We study the complexity of approximating the VC dimension of a collection of sets, when the sets are encoded succinctly by a small circuit. We show that this problem is • Σp 3-...
