Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical While for the simplified setting, we show that the problem can be approximated within a constant factor for any constant μ and ν, for the general setting, we give reductions leading to several approximation hardness results when ν 3. For instance, assuming the gap exponential time hypothesis to hold, we obtain that the problem cannot be approximated within a factor of n g(n) for any g(n) = o(1) where n is the number of nodes in the network. We complement our hardness results with an Ω(n 1/2)-approximation algorithm for the general setting when ν = 3 and μ is arbitrary.
