The rigorous theoretical analyses of algorithms for exact 3-satisfiability (X3SAT) have been proposed in the literature. As we know, previous algorithms for solving X3SAT have been analyzed only regarding the number of variables as the…
We propose a polynomially bounded, in time and space, method to decide whether a given 3-SAT formula is satisfiable or not. The tools we use here are, in fact, very simple. We first decide satisfiability for a particular 3-SAT formula,…
A critical variable of a satisfiable CNF formula is a variable that has the same value in all satisfying assignments. Using a simple case distinction on the fraction of critical variables of a CNF formula, we improve the running time for…
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…
In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the positive one-in-three satisfiability problem (Pos1in3SAT). The proposed algorithm can efficiently decide the existence of a satisfying assignment in all assignments for a given formula by using…
This paper solves a long standing open problem of whether NP-complete problems could be solved in polynomial time on a deterministic Turing machine by showing that the indistinguishable binomial decision tree can be formed in a 3-SAT…
The Maximum Satisfiability (MaxSAT) problem is the problem of finding a truth assignment that maximizes the number of satisfied clauses of a given Boolean formula in Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF). Many exact solvers for MaxSAT have been…
We consider worst case time bounds for NP-complete problems including 3-SAT, 3-coloring, 3-edge-coloring, and 3-list-coloring. Our algorithms are based on a constraint satisfaction (CSP) formulation of these problems; 3-SAT is equivalent to…
We consider the fundamental derandomization problem of deterministically finding a satisfying assignment to a CNF formula that has many satisfying assignments. We give a deterministic algorithm which, given an $n$-variable…
We present a multi-step quantum algorithm for solving the $3$-bit exact cover problem, which is one of the NP-complete problems. Unlike the brute force methods have been tried before, in this algorithm, we showed that by applying the…
A pair of unit clauses is called conflicting if it is of the form $(x)$, $(\bar{x})$. A CNF formula is unit-conflict free (UCF) if it contains no pair of conflicting unit clauses. Lieberherr and Specker (J. ACM 28, 1981) showed that for…
We model Semantic Self-Verification (SSV) as the problem of determining whether a statement accurately characterizes its own semantic properties within a given interpretive framework that formalizes a challenge in AI safety and fairness:…
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…
We use existential Diophantine predicates carefully reinterpreted over the reals and the time complexity of Tarski algebra to show that 3-CNF SAT is in n^O(log^{gamma} n) time for an absolute positive constant gamma.
Constraint Satisfaction Problem on finite sets is known to be NP-complete in general but certain restrictions on the constraint language can ensure tractability. It was proved that if a constraint language has a weak near unanimity…
What is the minimum amount of information and time needed to solve 2SAT? When the instance is known, it can be solved in polynomial time, but is this also possible without knowing the instance? Bei, Chen and Zhang (STOC '13) considered a…
The Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) holds a central place in computational complexity theory as the first shown NP-complete problem. Due to this role, SAT is often used as the benchmark for polynomial-time reductions: if a problem can…
This paper shows effectiveness of X3SAT in proving P = NP. This is due to the fact that it is easy to check unsatisfiability of a particular truth assignment. A truth assignment leads to some reductions of clauses by means of "exactly-1…
The satisfiability problem is NP-complete but there are subclasses where all the instances are satisfiable. For this, restrictions on the shape of the formula are made. Darman and D\"ocker show that the subclass MONOTONE $3$-SAT-($k$,1)…
Many natural combinatorial problems can be expressed as constraint satisfaction problems. This class of problems is known to be NP-complete in general, but certain restrictions on the form of the constraints can ensure tractability. The…
