Abstract

We study the polyhedral structure of the partial constraint satisfaction problem (PCSP). Among the problems that can be formulated as such are the maximum satisfiability problem and a fairly general model of frequency assignment problems. We present lifting theorems and classes of facet defining inequalities, and we provide preliminary experiments.
