In the k-edge-connected spanning subgraph problem we are given a graph (V, E) and costs for each edge, and want to find a minimum-cost F E such that (V, F) is k-edge-connected. I...
We develop a new method for proving explicit approximation lower bounds for TSP problems with bounded metrics improving on the best up to now known bounds. They almost match the b...
In this paper we present a fast and accurate procedure called clustered low rank matrix approximation for massive graphs. The procedure involves a fast clustering of the graph and...
We consider approximation algorithms for non-uniform buy-at-bulk network design problems. The first nontrivial approximation algorithm for this problem is due to Charikar and Kar...

We show that the Multicut, Sparsest-Cut, and Min-2CNF≡ Deletion problems are NP-hard to approximate within every constant factor, assuming the Unique Games Conjecture of Khot [S...
