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 g of the rectangle centers along both $x$-axis and $y$-axis with respect to the initial placement. This problem is known as Layout Adjustment for Disjoint Rectangles(LADR). It was known that LADR is $mathbb{NP}$-hard, but only heuristics were known for it. We show that a certain decision version of LADR is $mathbb{APX}$-hard, and give a constant factor approximation for LADR.
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 s edge weights. This improves the previously best upper bound of $phi n^{O(log n)}$ by Etscheid and R{o}glin. Our result is based on an analysis of long sequences of flips, which shows~that~it is very unlikely for every flip in a long sequence to incur a positive but small improvement in the cut weight. We also extend the same upper bound on the smoothed complexity of FLIP to all binary Maximum Constraint Satisfaction Problems.
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 y classical or quantum interactions in which a referee exchanges any number of messages with one party followed by any number of additional messages with the other. It considerably extends the class of interactions which admit parallel solutions, demonstrating for the first time the existence of a parallel algorithm for an interaction in which one party reacts adaptively to the other. As a consequence, we prove that several competing-provers complexity classes collapse to PSPACE such as QRG(2), SQG and two new classes called DIP and DQIP. A special case of our result is a parallel approximation scheme for a specific class of semidefinite programs whose feasible region consists of lists of semidefinite matrices that satisfy a transcript-like consistency condition. Applied to this special case, our algorithm yields a direct polynomial-space simulation of multi-message quantum interactive proofs resulting in a first-principles proof of QIP=PSPACE.
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 ning time was an algorithm due to King, Rao, and Tarjan. We describe a new variant of the excess scaling algorithm for the max flow problem whose running time strictly dominates the running time of the algorithm by King et al. Moreover, for graphs in which $m = O(n log n)$, the running time of our algorithm dominates that of King et al. by a factor of $O(loglog n)$.
