摘要: The paper contributes to the systematic study (started by Berman and Karpinski) of explicit approximability lower bounds for small occurrence optimization problems.We present parametrized reductions some packing covering problems, including 3-Dimensional Matching, prove best known inapproximability results even highly restricted versions them. For example, we show that it is NP-hard approximate Max-3-DM within 139/138 on instances with exactly two occurrences each element. Previous hardness bounded occurence case problem required bound at least three, then no was known. New structural which improve 3-regular amplifiers hence numerous problems studied earlier Karpinski are also presented.
