Abstract

A constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is said to be approximation resistant if it is hard to approximate better than the trivial algorithm which picks a uniformly random assignment. Assuming the Unique Games Conjecture, we give a characterization of approximation resistance for k-partite CSPs defined by an even predicate.
