Letbe a symmetric random matrix with independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Gaussian entries above the diagonal. We consider the problem of maximizingover binary vectors. In the language of statistical physics, this amounts to finding the ground state of the Sherrington--Kirkpatrick model of spin glasses. The asymptotic value of this optimization problem was characterized by Parisi via a celebrated variational principle, subsequently proved by Talagrand. We give an algorithm that, for any, outputssuch thatis at leastof the optimum value, with probability converging to one as. The algorithm's time complexity is. We generalize it to matrices with i.i.d., but not necessarily Gaussian, entries, and obtain an algorithm that computes the MAXCUT of a dense Erdös--Renyi random graph to within a factor. As a side result, we prove that, at (low) nonzero temperature, the algorithm constructs approximate solutions of the Thouless--Anderson--Palmer equations.
