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...

A 2.5-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-MST Problem
The k-MST problem requires finding that subset of at least k vertices of a given graph whose Minimum Spanning Tree has least weight amongst all subsets of at least k vertices. Th...

Free Bits, PCPs, and Nonapproximability-Towards Tight Results
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on p...

A Simple Topology Preserving Max-Flow Algorithm for Graph Cut Based Image Segmentation
In this paper, we propose a modification to the Boykov-Kolmogorov maximum flow algorithm [2] in order to make the algorithm preserve the topology of an initial interface. This alg...
