Yannakakis, Mihalis On the approximation of maximum satisfiability. (English) Zbl 0820.68056 J. Algorithms 17, No. 3, 475-502 (1994). Summary: We present a 3/4 polynomial time approximation algorithm for the maximum satisfiability problem: Given a set of clauses, find a truth assignment that satisfies the maximum number of clauses. The algorithm applies to the weighted case as well, and involves nontrivial application of network flow techniques.
