Abstract: Approximation algorithms for NP -hard optimization problems have been widely studied for over three decades. Most of these measure the quality of the solution produced by taking the ratio of the cost of the solution produced by the algorithm to the cost of an optimal solution. In certain cases, this ratio may not be very meaningful { for example, if the ratio of the worst solution to the best solution is at most some constant , then an approximation algorithm with factor may in fact...
