Abstract:

1 We present a 0:7499-approximation algorithm for Max-Set-Splitting in this paper. The previously best known result for this problem is a 0:7240-approximation by Andersson and Engebretsen [3], which is based on a semidenite programming (SDP) relaxation. Our improvement is resulted from a strengthened SDP relaxation, an improved rounding method, and a tighter analysis compared with that in [3]. Key words. Max Set Splitting, Max NAE SAT, approximation algorithm, semidefinite programming relaxation.
