Tight Approximability Results for Test Set Problems in Bioinformatics
In this paper, we investigate the test set problem and its variations that appear in a variety of applications. In general, we are given a universe of objects to be “distinguish...

Tight Results on Minimum Entropy Set Cover
In the minimum entropy set cover problem, one is given a collection of k sets which collectively cover an n-element ground set. A feasible solution of the problem is a partition o...

Tight Bounds on the Approximability of Almost-satisfiable Horn SAT and Exact Hitting Set}
We study the approximability of two natural Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: Horn satisfiability and exact hitting set. Under the Unique Games conjecture, we prove the fo...

What is optimized in tight convex relaxations for multi-label problems?
In this work we present a unified view on Markov random fields and recently proposed continuous tight convex relaxations for multi-label assignment in the image plane. These rel...

Small Approximate Pareto Sets for Bi-objective Shortest Paths and Other Problems
We investigate the problem of computing a minimum set of solutions that approximates within a specified accuracy the Pareto curve of a multiobjective optimization problem. We show...
