Linear Recurrence Relations for Graph Polynomials
A sequence of graphs Gn is iteratively constructible if it can be built from an initial labeled graph by means of a repeated fixed succession of elementary operations involving add...

Inapproximability Results for the Lateral Gene Transfer Problem
This paper concerns the Lateral Gene Transfer Problem. This minimization problem, defined by Hallet and Lagergren [6], is that of finding the most parsimonious lateral gene trans...

Inapproximability Results for Combinatorial Auctions with Submodular Utility Functions
We consider the following allocation problem arising in the setting of combinatorial auctions: a set of goods is to be allocated to a set of players so as to maximize the sum of t...

Improved Inapproximability Results for Maximum k-Colorable Subgraph
We study the maximization version of the fundamental graph coloring problem. Here the goal is to color the vertices of a k-colorable graph with k colors so that a maximum fraction ...

On the Inapproximability of Vertex Cover on k-Partite k-Uniform Hypergraphs
Computing a minimum vertex cover in graphs and hypergraphs is a well-studied optimizaton problem. While intractable in general, it is well known that on bipartite graphs, vertex c...
