Limits on the number of satisfying assignments for CNS instances with n variables and m clauses are derived from various inequalities. Some bounds can be calculated in polynomial time, sharper bounds demand information about the…
We present an extremely simple polynomial-space exponential-time $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm for MAX-k-SAT that is (slightly) faster than the previous known polynomial-space $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithms by Hirsch…
We provide a polynomial time cutting plane algorithm based on split cuts to solve integer programs in the plane. We also prove that the split closure of a polyhedron in the plane has polynomial size.
It is shown that any two clauses in an instance of 3SAT sharing the same terminal which is positive in one clause and negated in the other can imply a new clause composed of the remaining terms from both clauses. Clauses can also imply…
1-in-3 SAT is an NP-complete variant of 3-SAT\ where a "clause" is satisfied iff exactly one of its three literal is satisfied. We present here an exact algorithm solving \oit\ in time $O^*(1.260^n)$.
This paper refutes the validity of the polynomial-time algorithm for solving satisfiability proposed by Sergey Gubin. Gubin introduces the algorithm using 3-SAT and eventually expands it to accept a broad range of forms of the Boolean…
The aim of this short note is mainly pedagogical. It summarizes some knowledge about Boolean satisfiability (SAT) and the P=NP? problem in an elementary mathematical language. A convenient scheme to visualize and manipulate CNF formulae is…
Our main contribution is a polynomial-time algorithm to reduce a $k$-colorable gammoid to a $(2k-2)$-colorable partition matroid. It is known that there are gammoids that can not be reduced to any $(2k-3)$-colorable partition matroid, so…
Reducing the conditions under which a given set satisfies the stipulations of the subset sum proposition to a set of linear relationships, the question of whether a set satisfies subset sum may be answered in a polynomial number of steps by…
The p-adic valuation of a polynomial can be given by its valuation tree. This work describes the 2-adic valuation tree of the general degree 2 polynomial in 2 variables.
In this note, we polynomially reduce an instance of the partition problem to a dynamic lot sizing problem, and show that solving the latter problem solves the former problem. By solving the dynamic program formulation of the dynamic lot…

We obtain a polynomial criterion for a set to have a small doubling in terms of the common energy of its subsets.
Finding exact circuit size is a notorious optimization problem in practice. Whereas modern computers and algorithmic techniques allow to find a circuit of size seven in blink of an eye, it may take more than a week to search for a circuit…
