Abstract
In this paper we deal with the parallel approximability of a special class of Quadratic Programming (QP), called Smooth Positive Quadratic Programming. This subclass of QP is obtained by imposing restrictions on the coefficients of the QP instance. The Smoothness condition restricts the magnitudes of the coefficients while the positiveness requires that all the coefficients be non-negative. Interestingly, even with these restrictions several combinatorial problems can be modeled by Smooth QP. We show NC Approximation Schemes for the instances of Smooth Positive QP. This is done by reducing the instance of QP to an instance of Positive Linear Programming, finding in NC an approximate fractional solution to the obtained program, and then rounding the fractional solution to an integer approximate solution for the original problem. Then we show how to extend the result for positive instances of bounded degree to Smooth Integer Programming problems. Finally, we formulate several important combinatorial problems as Positive Quadratic Programs (or Positive Integer Programs) in packing/covering form and show that the techniques presented can be used to obtain NC Approximation Schemes for "dense" instances of such problems.
