In this paper, we prove several inapproximability results on the P 3 -convexity and the geodesic convexity in graphs. We prove that determining the P 3 -hull number and the geodetic hull number are APX-hard problems. We prove that the Carathéodory number, the Radon number and the convexity number of both convexities are O ( n 1 - ε ) -inapproximable in polynomial time for every ε 0 , unless P = NP . We also prove that the interval numbers of both convexities are W 2 -hard and O ( log ¿ n ) -inapproximable in polynomial time, unless P = NP . Moreover, these results hold for bipartite graphs in the P 3 -convexity. |
