We present a (full) derandomization of HSSW algorithm for 3-SAT, proposed by Hofmeister, Sch\"oning, Schuler, and Watanabe in [STACS'02]. Thereby, we obtain an O(1.3303^n)-time deterministic algorithm for 3-SAT, which is currently fastest.

The exponential-time hypothesis (ETH) states that 3-SAT is not solvable in subexponential time, i.e. not solvable in O(c^n) time for arbitrary c > 1, where n denotes the number of variables. Problems like k-SAT can be viewed as special…
