Abstract

A neural algorithm for solving approximately the maximum 2-satisfiability problem is presented and its performance is analysed: the worst case relative error is 0.25 and the computation time is bounded by nm/4, where n is the number of variables and m the number of clauses of a problem instance. Simulation experiments show a very good average case performance. We design a uniform family of circuits of small size and depth to implement the algorithm and present an efficient realization on field programmable gate arrays.
