The unique games conjecture states that for every sufficiently small pair of constants ε, δ > 0, there exists a constant k such that the following promise problem (Lyes, Lno) is NP-hard:
- Lyes = {G: the value of G is at least 1 − δ}
- Lno = {G: the value of G is at most ε}
where G is a unique game whose answers come from a set of size k.
