Abstract: We prove some non-approximability results for restrictions
of basic combinatorial optimization problems to instances of
bounded \degree" or bounded \width." Speci
cally:
We prove that the Max 3SAT problem on instances
where each variable occurs in at most B clauses, is hard
to approximate to within a factor 7=8+O(1=
B), unless
RP = NP . Hastad [18] proved that the problem is
approximable to within a factor 7=8+1=64B in polynomial
time, and that is hard to approximate to within
a factor ... (Update)
