On distance to monotonicity and longest increasing subsequence of a data stream
In this paper we consider problems related to the sortedness of a data stream. First we investigate the problem of estimating the distance to monotonicity; given a sequence of len...

Constant Ratio Fixed-Parameter Approximation of the Edge Multicut Problem
Abstract. The input of the Edge Multicut problem consists of an undirected graph G and pairs of terminals {s1, t1}, . . . , {sm, tm}; the task is to remove a minimum set of edges s...

Hardness of Approximating the Shortest Vector Problem in Lattices
Let p > 1 be any fixed real. We show that assuming NP RP, there is no polynomial time algorithm that approximates the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in p norm within a constant ...

Approximation of Natural W[P]-Complete Minimisation Problems Is Hard
We prove that the weighted monotone circuit satisfiability problem has no fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithm with constant or polylogarithmic approximation ratio un...

Approximation Schemes for Sequential Posted Pricing in Multi-unit Auctions
We design algorithms for computing approximately revenue-maximizing sequential postedpricing mechanisms (SPM) in K-unit auctions, in a standard Bayesian model. A seller has K copi...
