Abstract

In this paper, we improve a result by Arora, Khot, Kolla, Steurer, Tulsiani, and Vishnoi on solving the Unique Games problem on expanders. Given a (1 - ɛ)-satisfiable instance of Unique Games with the constraint graph G, our algorithm finds an assignment satisfying at least a 1 - Cɛ/hG fraction of all constraints if ɛ cλG where hG is the edge expansion of G, λG is the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian of G, and C and c are some absolute constants.
