Maximum 2-satisfiability

ID: maximum-2-satisfiability

Maximum 2-satisfiability asks for an assignment satisfying as many clause occurrences as possible when every nonempty clause has at most two literals. Occurrences are counted even when a clause is repeated. Its decision problem is NP-complete by the seven-clause gadget for MAX-2SAT, while the method of conditional probabilities gives a polynomial-time half approximation.
