### Treewidth-pliability and PTAS for Max-CSPs

Abstract:

We identify a sufficient condition, treewidth-pliability, that gives a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for a large class of Max-2-CSPs parametrised by the class of allowed constraint graphs (with arbitrary constraints on an unbounded alphabet). Our result applies more generally to the maximum homomorphism problem between two rational-valued structures. The condition unifies the two main approaches for designing PTASes. One is Baker’s layering technique, which applies to sparse gra...
