MAX SAT (the maximum satisfiability problem) is stated as follows: given a set of clauses with weights, find a truth assignment that maximizes the sum of the weights of the satisfied clauses. In this paper, we consider approximation algorithms for MAX SAT proposed by Goemans and Williamson ...
As a first application, we prove the Max NP-completeness of Max 3Sat without using the PCP theorem (thus solving an open question posed in Khanna et al., 1994). Successively, we show that the “planar” restrictions of several optimization constraint satisfaction problems admit linear-time ...
The original Goemans–Williamson approach for obtaining an upper bound for the MAX-2-SAT problem starts with FφB too. The problem(19)minFφB(x)x∈{-1,1}nis relaxed by relaxing the Boolean arguments xi. With each xi, a vector vi∈Rn+1 is associated, with norm 1, and products xixj...
1 The problem Before presenting the proof that MAX2SAT belongs to NP we shall introduce the problem we are dealing with. Consider the SAT problem; it maybe understood as a large placeholder to which one is able to attach various instances. As an example we can point out that 3SAT , 4...
Next, we introduce a modified version of the above solver to solve MaxSAT. Note that if the global optimums*is not a solution withV = 0 (a true MaxSAT problem), thenVwill keep changing in time as function of the auxiliary variables. The dynamics is still biased to flow toward th...
A randomized, efficient algorithm for MAX2SAT In this paper I present a MAX2SAT algorithm based on the randomized algorithm of Papadimitriou from 1991. We also show that this algorithm finds a solution (if it exists) for a MAX2SAT problem equivalent to a 3SAT problem with high proba... ...
Examples include Maximum-Weight Independent Set, Exact Cover, and 3-SAT Problems2. Technically, by virtue of being NP-complete, an efficient mapping of any one of these problems implies that any other NP-complete problem can also be mapped to finding the ground state of a spin model on the...

Summary: MinSAT is the problem of finding a truth assignment that minimizes the number of satisfied clauses in a CNF formula. When we distinguish between hard and soft clauses, and soft clauses have an associated weight, then the problem, called Weighted Partial MinSAT, consists in finding ...
