Quantum satisfiability is a constraint satisfaction problem that generalizes classical boolean satisfiability. In the quantum k-SAT problem, each constraint is specified by a k-local projector and is satisfied by any state in its nullspace.…

We investigate the complexity of the satisfiability problem for a modal logic expressing `knowing how' assertions, related to an agent's abilities to achieve a certain goal. We take one of the most standard semantics for this kind of logics…

The satisfiability problem in real closed fields is decidable. In the context of satisfiability modulo theories, the problem restricted to conjunctive sets of literals, that is, sets of polynomial constraints, is of particular importance.…

It is well known that modal satisfiability is PSPACE-complete (Ladner 1977). However, the complexity may decrease if we restrict the set of propositional operators used. Note that there exist an infinite number of propositional operators,…
