Decision trees for entity identification: approximation algorithms and hardness results
We consider the problem of constructing decision trees for entity identification from a given relational table. The input is a table containing information about a set of entities...

MAX3SAT is exponentially hard to approximate if NP has positive dimension
Under the hypothesis that NP has positive p-dimension, we prove that any approximation algorithm A for MAX3SAT must satisfy at least one of the following:

Improved Hardness of Approximation for Stackelberg Shortest-Path Pricing
We consider the Stackelberg shortest-path pricing problem, which is defined as follows. Given a graph G with fixed-cost and pricable edges and two distinct vertices s and t, we may...

Hardness results for approximating the bandwidth
The bandwidth of an n-vertex graph G is the minimum value b such that the vertices of G can be mapped to distinct integer points on a line without any edge being stretched to a di...
