The label cover problem is a computational problem in which one is given a bipartite graph and a set of labels, with the goal of assigning labels to vertices while satisfying certain constraints. This problem is closely linked to hardness of approximation results, as it serves as a fundamental tool in proving that certain problems cannot be approximated beyond specific thresholds, particularly in the context of NP-hard problems.
congrats on reading the definition of label cover problem. now let's actually learn it.
