Abstract. Combining classical approximability questions with parameterized complexity, we introduce a theory of parameterized approximability. The main intention of this theory is ...
We present a new type of monotone submodular functions: multi-peak submodular functions. Roughly speaking, given a family of sets F, we construct a monotone submodular function f ...
In contrast with classical reasoning, where a solution is either correct or incorrect, approximate reasoning tries to compute solutions which are close to the ideal solution, with...

Assuming 3-SAT formulas are hard to refute with high probability, Feige showed approximation hardness results, among others for the max bipartite clique. We extend this result in t...
We consider the classical vertex cover and set cover problems with the addition of hard capacity constraints. This means that a set (vertex) can only cover a limited number of its...
