    Abstract

    We give a number of improved inapproximability results, including the best up to date explicit approximation thresholds for bo- unded occurence satisfiability problems like MAX-2SAT and E2-LIN-2, and the bounded degree graph problems, like MIS, Node Cover, and MAX CUT. We prove also for the first time inapproximability of the problem of Sorting by Reversals and display an explicit approximation threshold.
