Improved inapproximability results for maxclique, chromatic number and approximate graph coloring

Abstract

The inapproximability results of Maxclique, chromatic number and graph coloring were examined. The results on the problem of finding the size of largest clique and chromatic number in a graph were obtained by the PCP constructions based on Hadamard codes. The polynomial time approximation algorithm for Maxclique achieves an approximation ratio which suggests that the problem is hard to approximate. The approximate graph coloring was shown to be NP-hard for all sufficiently large color constants values.
