Approximation Algorithms for Constrained Knapsack Problems
We study constrained versions of the knapsack problem in which dependencies between items are given by a graph. In one version, an item can be selected only if one of its neighbours is also selected. In the other version, an item can be selected only when all its neighbours are also selected. These problems generalize and unify several problems including the prize collecting and budgeted maximu...
متن کاملHardness of Approximation for Quantum Problems
The polynomial hierarchy plays a central role in classical complexity theory. Here, we define a quantum generalization of the polynomial hierarchy, and initiate its study. We show that not only are there natural complete problems for the second level of this quantum hierarchy, but that these problems are in fact strongly hard to approximate. Our results thus yield the first known hardness of ap...
متن کاملProof Verification and Hardness of Approximation Problems
The class PCP(f(n), g(n)) consists of all languages L for which there exists a polynomial-time probabilistic oracle machine that uses O(f(n)) random bits, queries O(g(n)) bits of its oracle and behaves as follows: If x ∈ L then there exists an oracle y such that the machine accepts for all random choices but if x 6∈ L then for every oracle y the machine rejects with high probability. Arora and ...
متن کاملApproximation hardness of edge dominating set problems
We provide the first interesting explicit lower bounds on efficient approximability for two closely related optimization problems in graphs, Minimum Edge Dominating Set and Minimum Maximal Matching. We show that it is NP-hard to approximate the solution of both problems to within any constant factor smaller than 7 6 . The result extends with negligible loss to bounded degree graphs and to every...
متن کاملHardness of Approximation for H-Free Edge Modification Problems
The H-free Edge Deletion problem asks, for a given graph G and integer k, whether it is possible to delete at most k edges from G to make it H-free, that is, not containing H as an induced subgraph. The H-free Edge Completion problem is defined similarly, but we add edges instead of deleting them. The study of these two problem families has recently been the subject of intensive studies from th...
