A polynomial-time approximation scheme for planar multiway cut
Given an undirected graph with edge lengths and a subset of nodes (called the terminals), the multiway cut (also called the multi-terminal cut) problem asks for a subset of edges,...

Optimal Inapproximability Results for Max-Cut and Other 2-Variable CSPs?
In this paper we show a reduction from the Unique Games problem to the problem of approximating MAX-CUT to within a factor of GW + , for all > 0; here GW .878567 denotes the a...

Paths of Bounded Length and Their Cuts: Parameterized Complexity and Algorithms
We study the parameterized complexity of two families of problems: the bounded length disjoint paths problem and the bounded length cut problem. From Menger’s theorem both proble...

Ruling Out Polynomial-Time Approximation Schemes for Hard Constraint Satisfaction Problems
The maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max CSP) is the following computational problem: an instance is a finite collection of constraints on a set of variables, and the goal...

Approximating pure nash equilibrium in cut, party affiliation, and satisfiability games
Cut games and party affiliation games are well-known classes of potential games. Schaffer and Yannakakis showed that computing pure Nash equilibrium in these games is PLScomplete....
