Abstract

We propose an algorithm using a spectral method, and analyze its average-case performance for MAX2SAT in the planted solution model. In [16], they proposed a distribution Gn,p,r for MAX2SAT in the planted solution model, as well as a message-passing algorithm. They showed that it solves, whp, MAX2SAT on Gn,p,r for rather dense formulas, i.e., the expected number of clauses is Ω(n1.5 √log n). In this paper, we propose an algorithm using a spectral method and a variant of message-passing algorithms, and show that it solves, whp, MAX2SAT on Gn,p,r for sparser formulas, i.e., the expected number of clauses is Ω(n log n).
