Abstract: Structural approximation theory seeks to provide a framework for expressing optimization problems, and isolating structural or syntactic conditions that explain the apparent difference in the approximation properties of different NP-optimization problems. In this paper, we initiate a study of structural approximation using integer programming (an optimization problem in its own right) as a general framework for expressing optimization problems. We isolate three classes of... (Update)

.... well established connection between the syntactic description and the approximation behaviour of NPO problems ( 15] 17] 13] 12] 5] [4], 10] 11] Our work builds on the impressive collection of non approximability results derived over the last five years, initiated by...

...of the value of x k and when f i = 0 then this forces x k = 0. Recall that the linear integer programs introduced by Barland et al. BKT96] have all their restrictions that are dominating ones. In this sense, an instance of linear programming containing triplets can be seen...
