Polynomial time approximation schemes for dense instances of minimum constraint satisfaction
2003
Random structures & algorithms (Print)
Preserved Fulltext
It is known that large fragments of the class of dense Minimum Constraint Satisfaction (MIN-CSP) problems do not have polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) contrary to their Maximum Constraint ...
In this paper we prove, somewhat surprisingly, that the minimum satisfaction of dense instances of kSAT-formulas, and linear equations mod 2, Ek-LIN2, do have PTASs for any k. ...

We study the computational complexity of decision and optimization problems that may be expressed as boolean contraint satisfaction problem with the global cardinality constraints. ...
In this paper we establish a characterization theorem for the decision problems and derive approximation hardness results for the corresponding global optimization problems. ...
Thus, since Min Bisection has a polynomial time approximation scheme on everywhere instances [AKK95], all the above problems have a polynomial time approximation scheme on everywhere dense instances. ...
