The problem of computing the optimum of a function on a finite set is an important problem in mathematics and computer science. Many combinatorial problems such as MAX-SAT and MAXCUT can be recognized as optimization problems on the hypercube πΆ π 2 = {β1, 1} π consisting of 2 π points. It has been noticed that if a finite set is equipped with an abelian group structure, then one can efficiently certify nonnegative functions on it by Fourier sum of squares (FSOS). Motivated by these works, this paper is devoted to developing a framework to find a lower bound of a function on a finite abelian group efficiently. We implement our algorithm by the SDP solver SDPNAL+ for computing the verified lower bound of π on πΊ and test it on the MAX-2SAT and MAX-3SAT benchmark problems from the Max-SAT competitions in 2009 and 2016. Beyond that, we also test our algorithm on random functions on πΆ π 3 . These experiments demonstrate the advantage of our algorithm over previously known methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citationsβcitations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
