Smooth Dynamical Systems on Smooth Manifoldsed version of Diophantine approximation is also hard to approximate. Furthermore we prove that the . problem with arbitrary capacities is NP-hard. This solves an open problem raised by Conforti, Di?Summa and Wolsey.

We design a new LP relaxation and show that this LP relaxation coupled with a new randomized rounding technique is optimal in our framework..In passing, we note that our results strictly improve over previous results of Kleinberg, Papadimitriou and Raghavan [

Then we prove that the problem is NP-hard to approximate within a factor of 2 assuming the Unique Games Conjecture; and it is unconditionally NP-hard to approximate within a factor 17/16. Finally, we extend the APX-hardness of the problem to the spe
