A Better Approximation Ratio for the Vertex Cover Problem
We reduce the approximation factor for Vertex Cover to 2 − Θ( 1√ log n ) (instead of the previous 2 − Θ(log log n log n ), obtained by Bar-Yehuda and Even [2], and by Moni...

An Improved Approximation Algorithm for Multiway Cut
Given an undirected graph with edge costs and a subset of k nodes called terminals, a multiway cut is a subset of edges whose removal disconnects each terminal from the rest. Mult...

Approximation and Hardness Results for Label Cut and Related Problems
We investigate a natural combinatorial optimization problem called the Label Cut problem. Given an input graph G with a source s and a sink t, the edges of G are classified into ...

Improved Approximation for the Directed Spanner Problem
We present an O( √ n log n)-approximation algorithm for the problem of finding the sparsest spanner of a given directed graph G on n vertices. A spanner of a graph is a sparse ...
