The Super-SAT (SSAT) problem was introduced in [1,2] to prove the NP-hardness of approximation of two popular lattice problems -Shortest Vector problem and Closest Vector problem. SSAT is conjectured to be NP-hard to approximate to within a factor of n(c) (c is positive constant, n is the size of the SSAT instance). In this paper we prove this conjecture assuming the Projection Games Conjecture (PGC) [3]. This implies hardness of approximation of these lattice problems within polynomial factors, assuming PGC. We also reduce SSAT to the nearest codeword problem and Learning Halfspace problem [4]. This proves that both these problems are NP-hard to approximate within a factor of N-c'/ log log n (c' is positive constant, N is the size of the instances of the respective problems). Assuming PGC these problems are proved to be NP-hard to approximate within polynomial factors. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

We prove that for an arbitrarily small constant epsilon > 0;assuming NP not subset of DTIME(2(logO(1/epsilon) n)), the preprocessing versions of the closest vector problem and the nearest codeword problem are hard to approximate within a factor better than 2(log1-epsilon n) : This improves upon the previous hardness factor of (log n)delta for some delta > 0 due to [AKKV05].

We design a linear time approximation scheme for the Gale-Berlekamp Switching Game and generalize it. to a wider class of dense fragile minimization problems including the nearest codeword problem (NCP) and Unique Games problem. Further applications include, among other things, finding a constrained form of matrix rigidity and maximum likelihood decoding of an error correcting code. As another application of our method we give the first. linear time approximation schemes for correlation clustering with a fixed number of Clusters and its hierarchical generalization. Our results depend on a new technique for dealing with small objective function values of optimization problems and could be of independent interest.

We prove that the closest vector problem with preprocessing (CVPP) is NP-hardto approximate within any factor less than (5/3)~(1/2). More specifically, we show that thereexists a reduction from an NP-hard problem to the approximate closest vector problem such that thelattice depends only on the size of the original problem, and the specific instance is encodedsolely in the target vector. It follows that there are lattices for which the closest vector problemcannot be approximated within factors γ<(5/3)~(1/2) in polynomial time, no matter how the latticeis represented, unless NP is equal to P (or NP is contained in P/poly, in case of nonuniformsequences of lattices). The result easily extends to any l_p norm, for p≥ 1, showing that CVPP inthe l_p norm is hard to approximate within any factor γ < p (5/3)~(1/p). As an intermediate step,we establish analogous results for the nearest codeword problem with preprocessing (NCPP), provingthat for any finite field GF(q), NCPP over GF(q) is NP-hard to approximate within any factor lessthan 5/3.

It is known that large fragments of the class of dense Minimum Constraint Satisfaction (MIN-CSP) problems do not have polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) contrary to their Maximum Constraint Satisfaction analogs. In this paper we prove, somewhat surprisingly, that the minimum satisfaction of dense instances of kSAT-formulas, and linear equations mod 2, Ek-LIN2, do have PTASs for any k. The MIN-Ek-LIN2 problems are equivalent to the k-ary versions of the nearest codeword problem, the problem which is known to be exceedingly hard to approximate on general instances. The method of solution of the above problems depends on the development of a new density sampling technique for k-uniform hypergraphs which could be of independent interest.
