A polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for an optimization problem A is an algorithm that given in input an instance of A and E > 0 find;,; (1 + E)-approximate solution in time that is polynomial for each fixed E. Typical running times are no(+) or 2"' n. While algorithms of the former kind t
This paper considers the problem of computing the squared volume of a largest j-dimensional simplex in an arbitrary d-dimensional polytope P given by its vertices (a "V -polytope"), for arbitrary integers j and d with 1 6 j 6 d. The problem was shown by Gritzmann, Klee and Larman to be NP-hard. This
