We present differential approximation results (both positive and negative) for optimal satisfiability, optimal constraint satisfaction, and some of the most popular restrictive versions of them. ...
As an important corollary, we exhibit an interesting structural difference between the landscapes of approximability classes in standard and differential paradigms. ...

A Fast Approximation Algorithm for MIN-ONE SAT
2008
2008 Design, Automation and Test in Europe
In this paper, we propose a novel approximation algorithm (Re-laxSAT) for MIN-ONE SAT. RelaxSAT generates a set of constraints from the objective function to guide the search. ...
The constraints are gradually relaxed to eliminate the conflicts with the original Boolean SAT formula until a solution is found. ...
Conclusions and Future Works In this paper, a novel approximation algorithm for MIN-ONE SAT is proposed. ...
