Abstract

Subhash Khot, the winner of the 2014 Nevanlinna Prize, has brought new clarity to the study of approximation algorithms for NP-hard problems, and opened new avenues of research. Several of these concern his Unique Games Conjecture, which has led to optimal inapproximability results that exactly characterize the approximability of the problem.
