Given a k-uniform hypergraph, the Maximum k-Set Packing problem is to find the maximum disjoint set of edges. We prove that this problem cannot be efficiently approximated to with...
In the popular computer game of Tetris, the player is given a sequence of tetromino pieces and must pack them into a rectangular gameboard initially occupied by a given configurat...

Consider an edge-weighted tree T = (V, E, w : E R+ ), in which a subset R of the nodes (called the required nodes) are colored red and the remaining nodes in S = V \R are colored ...
