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...

Approximating covering problems by randomized search heuristics using multi-objective models
The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

Constant Ratio Fixed-Parameter Approximation of the Edge Multicut Problem
Abstract. The input of the Edge Multicut problem consists of an undirected graph G and pairs of terminals {s1, t1}, . . . , {sm, tm}; the task is to remove a minimum set of edges s...

Approximation of Natural W[P]-Complete Minimisation Problems Is Hard
We prove that the weighted monotone circuit satisfiability problem has no fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithm with constant or polylogarithmic approximation ratio un...

Approximation and Hardness Results for Label Cut and Related Problems
We investigate a natural combinatorial optimization problem called the Label Cut problem. Given an input graph G with a source s and a sink t, the edges of G are classified into ...
