Using Approximation Hardness to Achieve Dependable Computation
Abstract. Redundancy has been utilized to achieve fault tolerant computation and to achieve reliable communication in networks of processors. These techniques can only be extended ...

Lattices that admit logarithmic worst-case to average-case connection factors
We demonstrate an average-case problem that is as hard as finding (n)-approximate shortest vectors in certain n-dimensional lattices in the worst case, where (n) = O( log n). The...

Distributed Approximation Algorithms for Weighted Problems in Minor-Closed Families
We give efficient distributed approximation algorithms for weighted versions of the maximum matching problem and the minimum dominating set problem for graphs from minor-closed fam...

Reconfigurations in Graphs and Grids
Let G be a connected graph, and let V and V two n-element subsets of its vertex set V (G). Imagine that we place a chip at each element of V and we want to move them into the posi...

Amplified Hardness of Approximation for VCG-Based Mechanisms
If a two-player social welfare maximization problem does not admit a PTAS, we prove that any maximal-in-range truthful mechanism that runs in polynomial time cannot achieve an app...
