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)
