Hardness results for approximating the bandwidth
The bandwidth of an n-vertex graph G is the minimum value b such that the vertices of G can be mapped to distinct integer points on a line without any edge being stretched to a di...

On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

Approximate max-integral-flow/min-multicut theorems
We establish several approximate max-integral-flow / minmulticut theorems. While in general this ratio can be very large, we prove strong approximation ratios in the case where th...
