Hardness of Approximating the Minimum Distance of a Linear Code
We show that the minimum distance of a linear code is not approximable to within any constant factor in random polynomial time (RP), unless nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) eq...

Approximate XML joins
XML is widely recognized as the data interchange standard for tomorrow, because of its ability to represent data from a wide variety of sources. Hence, XML is likely to be the for...

Approximation of Partial Capacitated Vertex Cover
We study the partial capacitated vertex cover problem (pcvc) in which the input consists of a graph G and a covering requirement L. Each edge e in G is associated with a demand (o...

Clustering with or without the Approximation
We study algorithms for clustering data that were recently proposed by Balcan, Blum and Gupta in SODA’09 [4] and that have already given rise to two follow-up papers. The input f...

Bounded approximate decentralised coordination via the max-sum algorithm
In this paper we propose a novel approach to decentralised coordination, that is able to efficiently compute solutions with a guaranteed approximation ratio. Our approach is base...
