Abstract

For a finite set Γ of Boolean relations, Max Ones SAT(Γ) and Exact Ones SAT(Γ) are generalized satisfiability problems where every constraint relation is from Γ, and the task is to find a satisfying assignment with at least/exactly k variables set to 1, respectively. We study the parameterized complexity of these problems, including the question whether they admit polynomial kernels. For Max Ones SAT(Γ), we give a classification into 5 different complexity levels: polynomial-time solvable, admits a polynomial kernel, fixed-parameter tractable, solvable in polynomial time for fixed k, and NP-hard already for k = 1. For Exact Ones SAT(Γ), we refine the classification obtained earlier by having a closer look at the fixed-parameter tractable cases and classifying the sets Γ for which Exact Ones SAT(Γ) admits a polynomial kernel.
