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:...

Deterministic Network Model Revisited: An Algebraic Network Coding Approach
Abstract—The capacity of multiuser networks has been a longstanding problem in information theory. Recently, Avestimehr et al. have proposed a deterministic network model to appr...
