Hi everyone,


We are finally back to our seminar again!! 


This Thursday, Karthik will join us to give a talk on Introduction to the Threshold Graph Composition Technique”. (Abstract below.)


This year we’ll be meeting on Thursdays at 14:00,

in the same place as always, the seminar room on the 1st floor (room 112).

Can’t wait to see you all soon!

Shany 


Abstract: Over the last decade, the area of hardness of approximation for problems solvable in polynomial time has emerged. One popular technique for proving such inapproximability results for many fundamental problems is called "threshold graph composition". In this talk, I will demonstrate this technique by presenting gap-creating self-reductions for the parameterized set cover and set intersection problems.
