On the NP-Hardness of Approximating Ordering Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We show improved NP-hardness of approximating Ordering Constraint Satisfaction Problems (OCSPs). For the two most well-studied OCSPs, MAXIMUM ACYCLIC SUBGRAPH and MAXIMUM BETWEENNESS, we prove NP-hard approximation factors of 14 15 + ε and 1 2 + ε . When it is hard to approximate an OCSP by a constant better than taking a uniformly-at-random ordering, then the OCSP is said to be approximation r...
متن کاملHardness of edge-modification problems
For a graph property P consider the following computational problem. Given an input graph G, what is the minimum number of edge modifications (additions and/or deletions) that one has to apply to G in order to turn it into a graph that satisfies P? Namely, what is the edit distance ∆(G,P) of a graph G from satisfying P. Clearly, the computational complexity of such a problem strongly depends on...
متن کاملOn Percolation and NP-Hardness
We consider the robustness of computational hardness of problems whose input is obtained by applying independent random deletions to worst-case instances. For some classical NPhard problems on graphs, such as Coloring, Vertex-Cover, and Hamiltonicity, we examine the complexity of these problems when edges (or vertices) of an arbitrary graph are deleted independently with probability 1−p > 0. We...
متن کاملParameterized Lower Bound and NP-Completeness of Some H-Free Edge Deletion Problems
For a graph H, the H-free Edge Deletion problem asks whether there exist at most k edges whose deletion from the input graph G results in a graph without any induced copy of H. We prove that H-free Edge Deletion is NP-complete if H is a graph with at least two edges and H has a component with maximum number of vertices which is a tree or a regular graph. Furthermore, we obtain that these NP-com...
متن کاملon translation of phatic communion and socio-cultural relationships between the characters of the novels
phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...
