Abstract

We present polynomial-time algorithms for approximate counting and sampling solutions to constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) with atomic constraints within the local lemma regime: pD2+oq(1)1. pD^{2+o_q(1)}\lesssim 1. When the domain size qq of each variable becomes sufficiently large, this almost matches the known lower bound pD21pD^2\gtrsim 1 for approximate counting and sampling solutions to atomic CSPs [Bez\'akov\'a et al, SICOMP '19; Galanis, Guo, Wang, TOCT '22], thus establishing an almost tight sampling Lov\'{a}sz local lemma for large domain sizes.
