Approximation algorithms for the 0-extension problem
In the 0-extension problem, we are given a weighted graph with some nodes marked as terminals and a semimetric on the set of terminals. Our goal is to assign the rest of the nodes ...

Hardness of Embedding Metric Spaces of Equal Size
Abstract. We study the problem embedding an n-point metric space into another n-point metric space while minimizing distortion. We show that there is no polynomial time algorithm t...
