Improved Approximation Algorithms for MAX NAE-SAT and MAX SAT
MAX SAT and MAX NAE-SAT are central problems in theoretical computer science. We present an approximation algorithm for MAX NAE-SAT with a conjectured performance guarantee of 0.82...

Approximating Weighted Max-SAT Problems by Compensating for Relaxations
We introduce a new approach to approximating weighted Max-SAT problems that is based on simplifying a given instance, and then tightening the approximation. First, we relax its str...

Exact Max 2-Sat: Easier and Faster
Prior algorithms known for exactly solving Max 2-Sat improve upon the trivial upper bound only for very sparse instances. We present new algorithms for exactly solving (in fact, c...

Hardness of Max 3SAT with No Mixed Clauses
We study the complexity of approximating Max NME3SAT, a variant of Max 3SAT when the instances are guaranteed to not have any mixed clauses, i.e., every clause has either all its ...

Improved non-approximability results
We indicate strong non-approximability factors for central problems: N1/4 for Max Clique; N1/10 for Chromatic Number; and 66/65 for Max 3SAT. Underlying the Max Clique result is a...
