On Tractable Cases of Target Set Selection
We study the NP-complete TARGET SET SELECTION (TSS) problem occurring in social network analysis. Complementing results on its approximability and extending results for its restric...

Heuristics for the multi-vehicle covering tour problem
The multi-vehicle covering tour problem is de"ned on a graph G"(<6=, E), where = is a set of vertices that must collectively be covered by up to m vehicles. The probl...

On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

Linear Level Lasserre Lower Bounds for Certain k-CSPs
We show that for k ≥ 3 even the Ω(n) level of the Lasserre hierarchy cannot disprove a random k-CSP instance over any predicate type implied by k-XOR constraints, for example ...

Implementing Huge Sparse Random Graphs
Consider a scenario where one desires to simulate the execution of some graph algorithm on random input graphs of huge, perhaps even exponential size. Sampling and storing these h...
