| Research Type | Theoretical | In this paper, we study the approximability of a number of graph problems: Treewidth and Pathwidth of graphs, Minimum Fill-In, One Shot Black (and Black-White) pebbling costs of directed acyclic graphs, and a variety of diļ¬erent graph layout problems such as Minimum Cut Linear Arrangement and Interval Graph Completion. We show that, assuming the recently introduced Small Set Expansion Conjecture, all of these problems are NP-hard to approximate to within any constant factor in polynomial time. |
