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:...
Most of complete search algorithms over Constraint Satisfaction Problems (csp) are based on Standard Backtracking. Two main enhancements of this basic scheme have been proposed : r...
