The 3-SAT problem with large number of clauses in $\infty$-replica symmetry breaking scheme
Abstract
In this paper we analyze the structure of the UNSAT-phase of the overconstrained 3-SAT model by studying the low temperature phase of the associated disordered spin model. We derive the Replica Symmetry Broken equations for a general class of disordered spin models which includes the Sherrington - Kirkpatrick model, the Ising -spin model as well as the overconstrained 3-SAT model as particular cases. We have numerically solved the Replica Symmetry Broken equations using a pseudo-spectral code down to and including zero temperature. We find that the UNSAT-phase of the overconstrained 3-SAT model is of the -RSB kind: in order to get a stable solution the replica symmetry has to be broken in a continuous way, similarly to the SK model in external magnetic field.
