On the Hardness and Easiness of Random 4-SAT Formulas
Assuming 3-SAT formulas are hard to refute with high probability, Feige showed approximation hardness results, among others for the max bipartite clique. We extend this result in t...

Covering Problems with Hard Capacities
We consider the classical vertex cover and set cover problems with the addition of hard capacity constraints. This means that a set (vertex) can only cover a limited number of its...

Hardness of Max-2Lin and Max-3Lin over Integers, Reals, and Large Cyclic Groups
—In 1997, H˚astad showed NP-hardness of (1 − , 1/q + δ)-approximating Max-3Lin(Zq); however it was not until 2007 that Guruswami and Raghavendra were able to show NP-hardness...
