We study hardness of approximating several minimaximal and maximinimal NP-optimization problems related to the minimum linear ordering problem (MINLOP). MINLOP is to find a minimum weight acyclic tournament in a given arc-weighted complete digraph. MINLOP is APX-hard but its unweighted version is polynomial time solvable. We prove that MIN-MAX-SUBDAG problem, which is a generalization of MINLOP and requires to find a minimum cardinality maximal acyclic subdigraph of a given digraph,...
