The constraint satisfaction problems k-SAT and Quantum k-SAT (k-QSAT) are canonical NP-complete and QMA_1-complete problems (for k>=3), respectively, where QMA_1 is a quantum generalization of NP with one-sided error. Whereas k-SAT has been…

We consider simplified, monotone versions of Not-All-Equal 3-Sat and 3-Sat, variants of the famous Satisfiability Problem where each clause is made up of exactly three distinct literals. We show that Not-All-Equal 3-Sat remains NP-complete…

This is a commentary on, and critique of, Latif Salum's paper titled "Tractability of One-in-three $\mathrm{3SAT}$: $\mathrm{P} = \mathrm{NP}$." Salum purports to give a polynomial-time algorithm that solves the $\mathrm{NP}$-complete…

We call a CNF formula linear if any two clauses have at most one variable in common. Let Linear k-SAT be the problem of deciding whether a given linear k-CNF formula is satisfiable. Here, a k-CNF formula is a CNF formula in which every…

We present an exact algorithm that decides, for every fixed $r \geq 2$ in time $O(m) + 2^{O(k^2)}$ whether a given multiset of $m$ clauses of size $r$ admits a truth assignment that satisfies at least $((2^r-1)m+k)/2^r$ clauses. Thus…

This paper introduces a knowledge recognition algorithm (KRA) for solving the 3SAT problem in polynomial time. KRA learns member-class relations and retrieves information through deductive and reductive iterative reasoning. It applies the…

We consider several well-studied problems in dynamic algorithms and prove that sufficient progress on any of them would imply a breakthrough on one of five major open problems in the theory of algorithms: 1. Is the 3SUM problem on $n$…

In this paper, we examine Yangjun Chen's technical report titled ``The 2-MAXSAT Problem Can Be Solved in Polynomial Time'' [Che23], which revises and expands upon their conference paper of the same name [Che22]. Chen's paper purports to…

Here we study the NP-complete $K$-SAT problem. Although the worst-case complexity of NP-complete problems is conjectured to be exponential, there exist parametrized random ensembles of problems where solutions can typically be found in…

In this paper, we introduce a methodology, called decomposition-based reductions, for showing the equivalence among various problems of bounded-width. First, we show that the following are equivalent for any $\alpha > 0$: * SAT can be…

This paper is devoted to the complexity of the Boolean satisfiability problem. We consider a version of this problem, where the Boolean formula is specified in the conjunctive normal form. We prove an unexpected result that the…

Many practical problems in almost all scientific and technological disciplines have been classified as computationally hard (NP-hard or even NP-complete). In life sciences, combinatorial optimization problems frequently arise in molecular…

I describe one quantum approach to solving 3-satisfiability (3-SAT), the well known problem in computer science. The approach is based on repeatedly measuring the truth value of the clauses forming the 3-SAT proposition using a…

The algorithm checks the propositional formulas for patterns of unsatisfiability.

The $k$-CombDMR problem is that of determining whether an $n \times n$ distance matrix can be realised by $n$ vertices in some undirected graph with $n + k$ vertices. This problem has a simple solution in the case $k=0$. In this paper we…

For some weighted $NP$-complete problems, checking whether a proposed solution is optimal is a non-trivial task. Such is the case for the celebrated traveling salesman problem, or the spin-glass problem in 3 dimensions. In this letter, we…

An algorithm is given for finding the solutions to 3SAT problems. The algorithm uses Bienstock's reduction from 3SAT to existence of induced odd cycle of length greater than three, passing through a prescribed node in the constructed graph.…

We study the complexity of the following "resolution width problem": Does a given 3-CNF have a resolution refutation of width k? We prove that the problem cannot be decided in time O(n^((k-3)/12)). This lower bound is unconditional and does…

Boolean Satisfiability Problem (SAT) is one of the core problems in computer science. As one of the fundamental NP-complete problems, it can be used - by known reductions - to represent instances of variety of hard decision problems.…

Monotone 3-Sat-4 is a variant of the satisfiability problem for boolean formulae in conjunctive normal form. In this variant, each clause contains exactly three literals---either all or none of them are positive, i.e., no clause contains…
