These two types of ratios are used because there exist algorithms where the difference between these two is significant.
other
In the literature, an approximation ratio for a maximization (minimization) problem of "c" - ϵ (min: "c" + ϵ) means that the algorithm has an approximation ratio of "c" ∓ ϵ for arbitrary ϵ > 0 but that the ratio has not (or cannot) be shown for ϵ = 0.
other
An example of this is the optimal inapproximability — inexistence of approximation — ratio of 7 / 8 + ϵ for satisfiable MAX-3SAT instances due to Johan Håstad.
other
As mentioned previously, when "c" = 1, the problem is said to have a polynomial-time approximation scheme.
other
An ϵ-term may appear when an approximation algorithm introduces a multiplicative error and a constant error while the minimum optimum of instances of size "n" goes to infinity as "n" does.
other
In this case, the approximation ratio is "c" ∓ "k" / OPT = "c" ∓ o(1) for some constants "c" and "k".
other
Given arbitrary ϵ > 0, one can choose a large enough "N" such that the term "k" / OPT < ϵ for every "n ≥ N".
other
For every fixed ϵ, instances of size "n < N" can be solved by brute force, thereby showing an approximation ratio — existence of approximation algorithms with a guarantee — of "c" ∓ ϵ for every ϵ > 0.
