We present improved approximation algorithms for directed multicut and directed sparsest cut. The current best known approximation ratio for these problems is O(n 1/2 ). We obtain an Γ(n 11/23 )-approximation. Our algorithm works with the natural LP relaxation used in prior work. We use a randomized
