Goemans and Williamson designed a 0. 878-approximation algorithm for Max-Cut in undirected graphs JACM'95. Khot, Kindler, Mosel, and O'Donnel showed that the approximation ratio of the Goemans-Williamson algorithm is optimal assuming Khot's Unique Games Conjecture SICOMP'07. In the problem of maximum cuts in directed graphs (Max-DiCut), in which we seek as many edges going from one particular side of the cut to the other, the situation is more complicated but the recent work of Brakensiek, Huang, Potechin, and Zwick showed that their 0. 874-approximation algorithm is tight under the Unique Games Conjecture (up to a small delta) FOCS'23. We consider a promise version of the problem and design an SDP-based algorithm which, if given a directed graph G that has a directed cut of value rho, finds an undirected cut in G (ignoring edge directions) with value at least.
