A new multilayered PCP and the hardness of hypergraph vertex cover
Given a k-uniform hypergraph, the Ek-Vertex-Cover problem is to find the smallest subset of vertices that intersects every hyperedge. We present a new multilayered PCP constructi...

The Parameterized Complexity of the Rectangle Stabbing Problem and Its Variants
We study the parameterized complexity of an NP-complete geometric covering problem called d-dimensional Rectangle Stabbing where we are given a set of axis-parallel d-dimensional h...

A Threshold of ln n for Approximating Set Cover
Given a collection Ᏺ of subsets of S ϭ {1, . . . , n}, set cover is the problem of selecting as few as possible subsets from Ᏺ such that their union covers S, and max k-cover ...

The Checkpoint Problem
In this paper, we consider the checkpoint problem in which given an undirected graph G, a set of sourcedestinations {(s1, t1), (s1, t1), . . . , (sk, tk)} and a set of fixed paths...
