Covering Problems with Hard Capacities
We consider the classical vertex cover and set cover problems with the addition of hard capacity constraints. This means that a set (vertex) can only cover a limited number of its...

Hardness and approximation of minimum distortion embeddings
We show that the problem of computing a minimum distortion embedding of a given graph into a path remains NP-hard when the input graph is restricted to a bipartite, cobipartite, o...

On the hardness of approximating the permanent of structured matrices
We show that for several natural classes of "structured" matrices, including symmetric, circulant, Hankel and Toeplitz matrices, approximating the permanent modulo a prim...

Hardness of approximate two-level logic minimization and PAC learning with membership queries
Producing a small DNF expression consistent with given data is a classical problem in computer science that occurs in a number of forms and has numerous applications. We consider ...

Approximating the Maximum Isomorphic Agreement Subtree Is Hard
The Maximum Isomorphic Agreement Subtree (MIT) problem is one of the simplest versions of the Maximum Interval Weight Agreement Subtree method (MIWT) which is used to compare phyl...
