Improved results for directed multicut
We give a simple algorithm for the MINIMUM DIRECTED MULTICUT problem, and show that it gives an Ç´ÔÒµapproximation. This improves on the previous approximation guarantee of Ã...

Approximating Linear Threshold Predicates
We study constraint satisfaction problems on the domain {-1, 1}, where the given constraints are homogeneous linear threshold predicates. That is, predicates of the form sgn(w1x1 +...
