Summary

The first substantial improvement of the 20-year-old classical harmonic upper bound,H(m), of Johnson, Lovasz, and Chvatal, is provided and the approximation guarantee for the greedy algorithm is better than the guarantee recently established by Srinivasan for the randomized rounding technique, thus improving the bounds on theintegrality gap.
