The Complexity of Polynomial-Time Approximation
In 1996, Khanna and Motwani [KM96] proposed three logic-based optimization problems constrained by planar structure, and offered the hypothesis that these putatively fundamental ...

Approximability and Parameterized Complexity of Consecutive Ones Submatrix Problems
Abstract. We develop a refinement of a forbidden submatrix characterization of 0/1-matrices fulfilling the Consecutive Ones Property (C1P). This novel characterization finds app...

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...

The Shortcut Problem - Complexity and Approximation
During the last years, speed-up techniques for DIJKSTRA’s algorithm have been developed that make the computation of shortest paths a matter of microseconds even on huge road net...

Weighted Coloring: Further Complexity and Approximability Results
Given a vertex-weighted graph G = (V, E; w), w(v) ≥ 0 for any v ∈ V , we consider a weighted version of the coloring problem which consists in finding a partition S = (S1, . ...
