We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...
We introduce the coolest path problem, which is a mixture of two well-known problems from distinct mathematical fields. One of them is the shortest path problem from combinatorial ...
Abstract— A number of recent results on optimization problems involving submodular functions have made use of the ”multilinear relaxation” of the problem [3], [8], [24], [14]...
Consensus is one of the most fundamental problems in fault-tolerant distributed computing. This paper proposes a mechanical method for analyzing the condition that allows one to s...
Multi-view learning algorithms typically assume a complete bipartite mapping between the different views in order to exchange information during the learning process. However, ma...
