A new multilayered PCP and the hardness of hypergraph vertex cover
Given a k-uniform hypergraph, the Ek-Vertex-Cover problem is to find the smallest subset of vertices that intersects every hyperedge. We present a new multilayered PCP constructi...

Faster approximation algorithms for the minimum latency problem
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...

Globally Optimal Pixel Labeling Algorithms for Tree Metrics
We consider pixel labeling problems where the label set forms a tree, and where the observations are also labels. Such problems arise in feature-space analysis with a very large...

Exact Algorithms for L (2, 1)-Labeling of Graphs
The notion of distance constrained graph labelings, motivated by the Frequency Assignment Problem, reads as follows: A mapping from the vertex set of a graph G = (V, E) into an in...

On the Inapproximability of Vertex Cover on k-Partite k-Uniform Hypergraphs
Computing a minimum vertex cover in graphs and hypergraphs is a well-studied optimizaton problem. While intractable in general, it is well known that on bipartite graphs, vertex c...
