Optimal 2-constraint satisfaction via sum-product algorithms
We show that for a given set of m pairwise constraints over n variables, a variable assignment that satisfies maximally many m constraints (MAX-2-CSP) can be found in O(nm dn/3) t...

On the hardness of approximating Max-Satisfy
Max-Satisfy is the problem of finding an assignment that satisfies the maximum number of equations in a system of linear equations over Q. We prove that unless NPBPP Max-Satisfy c...

Quadruple systems with independent neighborhoods
A 4-graph is odd if its vertex set can be partitioned into two sets so that every edge intersects both parts in an odd number of points. Let b(n) = max n 3 + (n - ) 3 = 1 2 + o...

Maximum Cardinality 1-Restricted Simple 2-Matchings
A simple 2-matching in a graph is a subgraph all of whose nodes have degree 1 or 2. A simple 2-matching is called k-restricted if every connected component has > k edges. We co...

Approximating maximum satisfiable subsystems of linear equations of bounded width
We consider the problem known as MAX-SATISFY: given a system of m linear equations over the rationals, find a maximum set of equations that can be satisfied. Let r be the width of...

Hall ratio of the Mycielski graphs
Let n(G) denote the number of vertices of a graph G and let (G) be the independence number of G, the maximum number of pairwise nonadjacent vertices of G. The Hall ratio of a grap...

The maximum number of halving lines and the rectilinear crossing number of Kn for n
For n 27 we present exact values for the maximum number h(n) of halving lines and h(n) of halving pseudolines, determined by n points in the plane. For this range of values of n ...

A linear equation for Minkowski sums of polytopes relatively in general position
The objective of this paper is to study a special family of Minkowski sums, that is of polytopes relatively in general position. We show that the maximum number of faces in the su...

The edge-diametric theorem in Hamming spaces
The maximum number of edges spanned by a subset of given diameter in a Hamming space with alphabet size at least three is determined. The binary case was solved earlier by Ahlswed...
