Improved Lower Bounds for the Shortest Superstring and Related Problems

Revisions: 1

We study the approximation hardness of the Shortest Superstring, the Maximal Compression and
the Maximum Asymmetric Traveling Salesperson (MAX-ATSP) problem.
We introduce a new reduction method that produces strongly restricted instances of
the Shortest Superstring problem, in which the maximal orbit size is eight
