Polynomial time approximation schemes for dense instances of NP-hard problems
We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...

Ruling Out Polynomial-Time Approximation Schemes for Hard Constraint Satisfaction Problems
The maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max CSP) is the following computational problem: an instance is a finite collection of constraints on a set of variables, and the goal...

Linear time approximation schemes for the Gale-Berlekamp game and related minimization problems
We design a linear time approximation scheme for the GaleBerlekamp Switching Game and generalize it to a wider class of dense fragile minimization problems including the Nearest C...

A Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme for Weighted Planar Graph TSP
Given a planar graph on n nodes with costs weights on its edges, de ne the distance between nodes i and j as the length of the shortest path between i and j. Consider this as an i...

The Train Delivery Problem - Vehicle Routing Meets Bin Packing
Abstract. We consider the train delivery problem which is a generalization of the bin packing problem and is equivalent to a one dimensional version of the vehicle routing problem ...
