| Abstract | We study the exponential time complexity of approximate counting satisfying assignments of CNFs. We reduce the problem to deciding satis_ability of a CNF. Our reduction preserves the number of variables of the input formula and thus also preserves the exponential complexity of approximate counting. Our algorithm is also similar to an algorithm which works particular well in practice and for which no approximation guarantee is known. |
