Abstract

We give an algorithm for Max 2-CSP which runs in time O⋆(rm5.555) and uses polynomial space. This compares with the previous fastest published algorithm of Scott and Sorkin [15], which runs in time View the MathML sourceO⋆(r19m100)=O⋆(rm5.263).

The algorithm uses the deletion-reduction depth of a graph; we also consider some of the properties of this parameter, and in particular derive a lower bound on the parameter for cubic graphs.
