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...

Logarithmic hardness of the directed congestion minimization problem
We show that for any constant ε > 0, there is no Ω(log1−ε M)approximation algorithm for the directed congestion minimization problem on networks of size M unless NP ⊆ Z...

Amplified Hardness of Approximation for VCG-Based Mechanisms
If a two-player social welfare maximization problem does not admit a PTAS, we prove that any maximal-in-range truthful mechanism that runs in polynomial time cannot achieve an app...

The Shortest Vector in a Lattice is Hard to Approximate to Within Some Constant
We show that approximating the shortest vector problem (in any p norm) to within any constant factor less than p 2 is hard for NP under reverse unfaithful random reductions with i...

On the Hardness of Approximating the Network Coding Capacity
Abstract—This work addresses the computational complexity of achieving the capacity of a general network coding instance. We focus on the linear capacity, namely the capacity of ...
