Abstract

We investigate the relationship beetween the classes MAX-NP and GLO by studying the Maximum Generalized Satisfiability problem, which is in the former class. We present a (2−B)-approximate greedy heuristic for this problem and show that no local search c-approximate algorithm exists, based on an h-bounded neighborhood and on the number of satisfied clauses as objective function. This implies that, with the standard definition of local search, MAX-NP is not contained in GLO.
