Approximations and Randomization to Boost CSP Techniques
Abstract. In recent years we have seen an increasing interest in combining constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) formulations and linear programming (LP) based techniques for solvi...

On the complexity of approximating k-set packing
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...

Approximating maximum satisfiable subsystems of linear equations of bounded width
We consider the problem known as MAX-SATISFY: given a system of m linear equations over the rationals, find a maximum set of equations that can be satisfied. Let r be the width of...

Free Bits, PCPs and Non-Approximability - Towards Tight Results
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs PCPs the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on prov...

On the Complexity of Nash Equilibria and Other Fixed Points
We reexamine what it means to compute Nash equilibria and, more generally, what it means to compute a fixed point of a given Brouwer function, and we investigate the complexity o...
