Abstract

The optimization problem Max-2SAT-CC is Max-2SAT with the additional cardinality constraint that the value one may be assigned to at most K variables. We present an approximation algorithm with polynomial running time for Max-2SAT-CC. This algorithm achieves, for any 驴 0, approximation ratio 6 + 3 驴 e/16 + 2 驴 e - 驴 驴 0.6603. Furthermore, we present a greedy algorithm with running time O(N log N) and approximation ratio 1/2. The latter algorithm even works for clauses of arbitrary length.
