Under ETH, no f(k) n^{o(k/log k)}-time algorithm can approximate k-permutation pattern counts within n^{(1/2-ε)k} factor, matching exact-counting hardness.
Uniform-Ironed-Virtual-Value Item Pricing achieves a tight 3-approximation to the Duality Relaxation Benchmark in unit-demand single-buyer revenue maximization.
A new algorithm approximates the prize-collecting rural postman problem within a factor strictly less than 1.6 and proves a 2-approximation barrier for PCTSP reductions.
Reduction from prize-collecting-Φ-TSP to prize-collecting TSP yields (ρ + ε)-approximations for constant prescribed vertices, improving the prize-collecting stroll guarantee to better than 1.6 from 1.6662.
