Abstract

An algorithm for a constraint satisfaction problem is called robust if it outputs an assignment satisfying at least (1g(ε))(1-g(\varepsilon))-fraction of the constraints given a (1ε)(1-\varepsilon)-satisfiable instance, where g(ε)0g(\varepsilon) \rightarrow 0 as ε0\varepsilon \rightarrow 0. Guruswami and Zhou conjectured a characterization of constraint languages for which the corresponding constraint satisfaction problem admits an efficient robust algorithm. This paper confirms their conjecture.
