We observe that combining the techniques of Arora, Rao, and Vazirani, with the rounding algorithm of Rao and Richa yields an O( √ log n log log n)-approximation for the minimum-...
The current proof of the PCP Theorem (i.e., NP = PCP(log, O(1))) is very complicated. One source of difficulty is the technically involved analysis of low-degree tests. Here, we r...
