Sensitivity Lower Bounds for Approximation Algorithms

Sensitivity measures how much the output of an algorithm changes, in terms of Hamming distance, when part of the input is modified. While approximation algorithms with low sensitivity have been developed for many problems, no sensitivity lower bounds were previously known for approximation algorithms. In this work, we establish the first polynomial lower bound on the sensitivity of (randomized) ap
