Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
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:...

Towards a theory for securing time synchronization in wireless sensor networks
Time synchronization in highly distributed wireless systems like sensor and ad hoc networks is extremely important in order to maintain a consistent notion of time throughout the ...

Distributed Constrained Optimization with Semicoordinate Transformations
Recent work has shown how information theory extends conventional full-rationality game theory to allow bounded rational agents. The associated mathematical framework can be used ...

A Geometric Programming-Based Worst Case Gate Sizing Method Incorporating Spatial Correlation
We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Our method is a worst-case design scheme, but it reduces the pessimism involved i...

CSP gaps and reductions in the lasserre hierarchy
We study integrality gaps for SDP relaxations of constraint satisfaction problems, in the hierarchy of SDPs defined by Lasserre. Schoenebeck [25] recently showed the first integra...
