| dc.description.abstract | The projection games (aka Label-Cover) problem is of great importance to the field of approximation algorithms, since most of the NP-hardness of approximation results we know today are reductions from Label-Cover. In this paper we design several approximation algorithms for projection games:
1. A polynomial-time approximation algorithm that improves on the previous best approximation by Charikar, Hajiaghayi and Karloff [7].
2. A sub-exponential time algorithm with much tighter approximation for the case of smooth projection games.
3. A PTAS for planar graphs. | en_US |
