On the Hardness of Being Truthful
The central problem in computational mechanism design is the tension between incentive compatibility and computational ef ciency. We establish the rst significant approximability ...

Tight Approximability Results for Test Set Problems in Bioinformatics
In this paper, we investigate the test set problem and its variations that appear in a variety of applications. In general, we are given a universe of objects to be “distinguish...

Hardness of the Covering Radius Problem on Lattices
We provide the first hardness result for the Covering Radius Problem on lattices (CRP). Namely, we show that for any large enough p there exists a constant cp > 1 such that C...

On Minimum Power Connectivity Problems
Given a (directed or undirected) graph with edge costs, the power of a node is the maximum cost of an edge leaving it, and the power of the graph is the sum of the powers of its n...

Hardness of Directed Routing with Congestion
Given a graph G and a collection of source-sink pairs in G, what is the least integer c such that each source can be connected by a path to its sink, with at most c paths going th...
