MAX CLIQUE problem (MCP) is an NPO problem, which asks to find the largest complete sub-graph in a graph $G, G = (V, E)$ (directed or undirected). MCP is well known to be $NP-Hard$ to approximate in polynomial time with an approximation ratio of $1 + epsilon$, for every $epsilon > 0$ [9] (and even a polynomial time approximation algorithm with a ratio $n^{1 - epsilon}$ has been conjectured to be non-existent [2] for MCP). Up to this date, the best known approximation ratio for MCP of a polynomial time algorithm is $O(n(log_2(log_2(n)))^2 / (log_2(n))^3)$ given by Feige [1]. In this paper, we show that MCP can be approximated with a constant factor in polynomial time through approximation ratio preserving reductions from MCP to MAX DNF and from MAX DNF to MIN SAT. A 2-approximation algorithm for MIN SAT was presented in [6]. An approximation ratio preserving reduction from MIN SAT to min vertex cover improves the approximation ratio to $2 - Theta(1/ sqrt{n})$ [10]. Hence we prove false the infamous conjecture, which argues that there cannot be a polynomial time algorithm for MCP with an approximation ratio of any constant factor.
Given an initial placement of a set of rectangles in the plane, we consider the problem of finding a disjoint placement of the rectangles that minimizes the area of the bounding box and preserves the orthogonal order i.e. maintains the sorted orderin
We show that the smoothed complexity of the FLIP algorithm for local Max-Cut is at most $smash{phi n^{O(sqrt{log n})}}$, where $n$ is the number of nodes in the graph and $phi$ is a parameter that measures the magnitude of perturbations applied on it
We show that the edit distance between two strings of length $n$ can be computed within a factor of $f(epsilon)$ in $n^{1+epsilon}$ time as long as the edit distance is at least $n^{1-delta}$ for some $delta(epsilon) > 0$.
This paper presents an efficient parallel approximation scheme for a new class of min-max problems. The algorithm is derived from the matrix multiplicative weights update method and can be used to find near-optimal strategies for competitive two-part
In 2013, Orlin proved that the max flow problem could be solved in $O(nm)$ time. His algorithm ran in $O(nm + m^{1.94})$ time, which was the fastest for graphs with fewer than $n^{1.06}$ arcs. If the graph was not sufficiently sparse, the fastest run
