Inapproximability of Constraint Satisfaction Problems IReal Analysis Boot Camp 20132013-09-09
Claim: it is NP‑hard to beat 7/8 hardness for MAX‑3SAT. Proof outline: reduction from satisfiability via the PCP theorem, then parallel repetition to get a…

Inapproximability of Constraint Satisfaction Problems IIReal Analysis Boot Camp 20132013-09-09
Shows NP‑hardness of approximating Max‑3‑LIN/Max‑3‑SAT to within the usual constants (half+ε for 3‑LIN and approaching 7/8+ε for 3‑SAT) by starting from PCP…

Reduction starts from label cover and encodes labels by long codes, analyzes Fourier coefficients and probabilistic labelings to turn a parity test into an…

Inapproximability of Constraint Satisfaction Problems IVReal Analysis Boot Camp 20132013-09-09
Recap of concrete hardness techniques: starts from label cover with smooth label cover and uses long‑code style tests plus gadget reductions that introduce at…

Argues that standard gadget/LP methods cannot prove NP-hardness for the sparse Hadamard predicate H7 and instead uses a construction that takes…
