A MAX-SAT Algorithm Portfolio
The results of the last MaxSAT Evaluations suggest there is no universal best algorithm for solving MaxSAT, as the fastest solver often depends on the type of instance. Having an ...

Improving Exact Algorithms for MAX-2-SAT
We study three new techniques which will speed up the branch-and-bound algorithm for the MAX-2-SAT problem: The first technique is a new lower bound function for the algorithm an...

Algorithms for Maximum Satisfiability using Unsatisfiable Cores
Many decision and optimization problems in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) can be solved with Boolean Satisfiability (SAT). Moreover, well-known extensions of SAT also find app...

MAX3SAT is exponentially hard to approximate if NP has positive dimension
Under the hypothesis that NP has positive p-dimension, we prove that any approximation algorithm A for MAX3SAT must satisfy at least one of the following:

Balanced max 2-sat might not be the hardest
We show that, assuming the Unique Games Conjecture, it is NPhard to approximate MAX 2-SAT within LLZ + , where 0.9401 < LLZ < 0.9402 is the believed approximation ratio of t...
