In this paper we focus on estimating the amount of information that can be embedded in the sequencing of packets in ordered channels. Ordered channels, e.g. TCP, rely on sequence numbers to recover from packet loss and packet reordering. We propose a formal model for transmitting information by packet-reordering. We present natural and well-motivated channel models and jamming models including the...
A permutation constraint satisfaction problem (permCSP) of arity k is specified by a subset LambdasubeSk of permutations on {1,2,...,k}. An instance of such a permCSP consists of a set of variables V and a collection of constraints each of which is an ordered k-tuple of V. The objective is to find a global ordering sigma of the variables that maximizes the number of constraint tuples whose ordering...
We prove that approximating the max. acyclic subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is unique games hard. Specifically, for every constant epsiv > 0 the following holds: given a directed graph G that has an acyclic subgraph consisting of a fraction (1-epsiv) of its edges, if one can efficiently find an acyclic subgraph of G with more than (1/2 + epsiv) of its edges, then the UGC is false...
