Amplified Hardness of Approximation for VCG-Based Mechanisms
If a two-player social welfare maximization problem does not admit a PTAS, we prove that any maximal-in-range truthful mechanism that runs in polynomial time cannot achieve an app...

Approximate Min-Max Theorems of Steiner Rooted-Orientations of Hypergraphs
Given an undirected hypergraph and a subset of vertices S ⊆ V with a specified root vertex r ∈ S, the STEINER ROOTED-ORIENTATION problem is to find an orientation of all the...
