Improved Hardness of Approximation for Stackelberg Shortest-Path Pricing
We consider the Stackelberg shortest-path pricing problem, which is defined as follows. Given a graph G with fixed-cost and pricable edges and two distinct vertices s and t, we may...

Hardness results for approximating the bandwidth
The bandwidth of an n-vertex graph G is the minimum value b such that the vertices of G can be mapped to distinct integer points on a line without any edge being stretched to a di...

On the hardness of approximating Max-Satisfy
Max-Satisfy is the problem of finding an assignment that satisfies the maximum number of equations in a system of linear equations over Q. We prove that unless NPBPP Max-Satisfy c...
