Abstract
It is well known that, as tends to infinity, the probability of satisfiability for a random 2-SAT formula on variables, where each clause occurs independently with probability , exhibits a sharp threshold at . We study a more general 2-SAT model in which each clause occurs independently but with probability where is the number of positive literals in that clause. We generalize branching process arguments by Verhoeven(99) to determine the satisfiability threshold for this model in terms of the maximum eigenvalue of the branching matrix.
