SDP Gaps for 2-to-1 and Other Label-Cover Variants
In this paper we present semidefinite programming (SDP) gap instances for the following variants of the Label-Cover problem, closely related to the Unique Games Conjecture: (i) 2-...

On the Relation between Polynomial Identity Testing and Finding Variable Disjoint Factors
We say that a polynomial f(x1, . . . , xn) is indecomposable if it cannot be written as a product of two polynomials that are defined over disjoint sets of variables. The polynom...

Network Design via Core Detouring for Problems without a Core
Some of the currently best-known approximation algorithms for network design are based on random sampling. One of the key steps of such algorithms is connecting a set of source nod...

New Data Structures for Subgraph Connectivity
Abstract. We study the “subgraph connectivity” problem for undirected graphs with sublinear vertex update time. In this problem, we can make vertices active or inactive in a gr...

Inapproximability of Hypergraph Vertex Cover and Applications to Scheduling Problems
Assuming the Unique Games Conjecture (UGC), we show optimal inapproximability results for two classic scheduling problems. We obtain a hardness of 2 − ε for the problem of mini...

On Approximate Horn Formula Minimization
The minimization problem for Horn formulas is to find a Horn formula equivalent to a given Horn formula, using a minimum number of clauses. A 2log1−ǫ (n) -inapproximability re...
