Approximation Algorithm for the Max k-CSP Problem

RSS-Feed

Abstract:

We present a c.k/2^k approximation algorithm for the Max k-CSP problem (where c > 0.44 is an absolute constant). This result improves the previously best known algorithm by Hast, which has an approximation guarantee of Omega(k/(2^k log k)). Our approximation guarantee matches the upper bound of Samorodnitsky and Trevisan up to a constant factor (their result assumes the Unique Games Conjecture).
