Abstract

In the first part of this paper we address several weighted satisfiability problems. Among others, we provide linear time algorithms solving the optimization problems MINV(MAXV)-NAESAT and MINV (MAXV)-XSAT for 2CNF formulas and arbitrary real weights assigned to the variables. In a second part we consider the relationship between the problems maximum weight independent set (MAX-IS) in a graph and the problem XSAT. We show that the counting problem #XSAT can be solved in time O(20.40567n) thereby significantly improving on a bound O(20.81131n) provided in [4].
