Random MAX SAT, random MAX CUT, and their phase transitions
With random inputs, certain decision problems undergo a “phase transition”. We prove similar behavior in an optimization context. Given a conjunctive normal form (CNF) formula...

Solving Sparse Random Instances of Max Cut and Max 2-CSP in Linear Expected Time
Abstract. We show that a maximum cut of a random graph below the giantcomponent threshold can be found in linear space and linear expected time by a simple algorithm. In fact, the ...

Relaxed Survey Propagation: A Sum-Product Algorithm for Max-SAT
The survey propagation (SP) algorithm has been shown to work well on large instances of the random 3-SAT problem near its phase transition. It was shown that SP estimates marginal...

New Inference Rules for Max-SAT
Exact Max-SAT solvers, compared with SAT solvers, apply little inference at each node of the proof tree. Commonly used SAT inference rules like unit propagation produce a simpli...

Free Bits, PCPs and Non-Approximability - Towards Tight Results
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs PCPs the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on prov...
