On basing one-way functions on NP-hardness
We consider the possibility of basing one-way functions on NP-Hardness; that is, we study possible reductions from a worst-case decision problem to the task of average-case invert...

Logarithmic hardness of the directed congestion minimization problem
We show that for any constant ε > 0, there is no Ω(log1−ε M)approximation algorithm for the directed congestion minimization problem on networks of size M unless NP ⊆ Z...

On earthmover distance, metric labeling, and 0-extension
We study the fundamental classification problems 0-Extension and Metric Labeling. A generalization of Multiway Cut, 0-Extension is closely related to partitioning problems in grap...

On maximizing welfare when utility functions are subadditive
We consider the problem of maximizing welfare when allocating m items to n players with subadditive utility functions. Our main result is a way of rounding any fractional solution...

A subset spanner for Planar graphs, : with application to subset TSP
Let > 0 be a constant. For any edge-weighted planar graph G and a subset S of nodes of G, there is a subgraph H of G of weight a constant times that of the minimum Steiner tree...
