On bounded occurrence constraint satisfaction
An approximation algorithm for a constraint satisfaction problem is said to be nontrivial if its performance ratio is strictly superior to the expected performance of the algorith...

Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...

Distributed Partial Constraint Satisfaction Problem
Many problems in multi-agent systems can be described as distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (distributed CSPs), where the goal is to nd a set of assignments to variables ...

Optimal Sherali-Adams Gaps from Pairwise Independence
Abstract. This work considers the problem of approximating fixed predicate constraint satisfaction problems (MAX k-CSP(P)). We show that if the set of assignments accepted by P co...

A Graph-Based Method for Improving GSAT
GSAT is a randomized greedy local repair procedure that was introduced for solving propositional satis ability and constraint satisfaction problems. We present an improvement to G...
