Improved Approximations for TSP with Simple Precedence Constraints
In this paper, we consider variants of the traveling salesman problem with precedence constraints. We characterize hard input instances for Christofides' algorithm and Hoogeve...

Summarizing CSP Hardness with Continuous Probability Distributions
We present empirical evidence that the distribution of e ort required to solve CSPs randomly generated at the 50% satis able point, when using a backtracking algorithm, can be app...

On Parameterized Approximability
Abstract. Combining classical approximability questions with parameterized complexity, we introduce a theory of parameterized approximability. The main intention of this theory is ...

Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1 - 1/e
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...

Constant Ratio Fixed-Parameter Approximation of the Edge Multicut Problem
Abstract. The input of the Edge Multicut problem consists of an undirected graph G and pairs of terminals {s1, t1}, . . . , {sm, tm}; the task is to remove a minimum set of edges s...
