Inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set in Bounded Degree Graphs
We study the inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set on degree d graphs. We prove that: • Vertex Cover is Unique Games-hard to approximate to within a factor 2−(...

Tight integrality gaps for Lovasz-Schrijver LP relaxations of vertex cover and max cut
We study linear programming relaxations of Vertex Cover and Max Cut arising from repeated applications of the "lift-and-project" method of Lovasz and Schrijver starting ...
