It is shown that for some positive constant \(c\) it is not feasible to approximate the independent set (for graphs of \(n\) vertices) within a factor of \(n^ c\), provided maximum 2-satisfiability does not have a randomized polynomial time approximation scheme. Reductions preserving the quality of approximations are also studied and complete problems are exhibited.
