Three algorithms are presented that determine the existence of satisfying assignments for 3SAT Boolean satisfiability expressions. One algorithm is presented for determining an instance of a satisfying assignment, where such exists. The…
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 $O^*(1.260^n)$.
In this paper, we provide a deterministic polynomial time algorithm that determines satisfiability of 3-SAT. The complexity analysis for the algorithm takes into account no efficiency and yet provides a low enough bound, that efficient…
Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) problems are expressed as mathematical formulas. This paper presents a matrix representation for these SAT problems. It shows how to use this matrix representation to get the full set of valid satisfying…
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,…

The Exact Satisfiability problem, XSAT, is defined as the problem of finding a satisfying assignment to a formula in CNF such that there is exactly one literal in each clause assigned to be 1 and the other literals in the same clause are…
We illustrate the strength of Algebraic Methods, adapting Gaussian Elimination and Substitution to the problem of Exact Boolean Satisfiability. For 1-in-3 SAT with non-negated literals we are able to obtain considerably smaller equivalent…
In this paper we present a new approach to solve the satisfiability problem (SAT), based on boolean networks (BN). We define a mapping between a SAT instance and a BN, and we solve SAT problem by simulating the BN dynamics. We prove that BN…
The evaluation of incomplete satisfiability solvers depends critically on the availability of hard satisfiable instances. A plausible source of such instances consists of random k-SAT formulas whose clauses are chosen uniformly from among…
In many decision-making processes, one may prefer multiple solutions to a single solution, which allows us to choose an appropriate solution from the set of promising solutions that are found by algorithms. Given this, finding a set of…
NP-Complete problems have an important attribute that if one NP-Complete problem can be solved in polynomial time, all NP-Complete problems will have a polynomial solution. The 3-CNF-SAT problem is a NP-Complete problem and the primary…
The Exact Satisfiability problem asks if we can find a satisfying assignment to each clause such that exactly one literal in each clause is assigned $1$, while the rest are all assigned $0$. We can generalise this problem further by…
A generalized 1-in-3SAT problem is defined and found to be in complexity class P when restricted to a certain subset of CNF expressions. In particular, 1-in-kSAT with no restrictions on the number of literals per clause can be decided in…
This paper presents an algorithm for 3-SAT problems. First, logical formulas are transformed into elementary algebraic formulas. Second, complex trigonometric functions are assigned to the variables in the elementary algebraic formulas, and…
To test incomplete search algorithms for constraint satisfaction problems such as 3-SAT, we need a source of hard, but satisfiable, benchmark instances. A simple way to do this is to choose a random truth assignment A, and then choose…
Many procedures for SAT and SAT-related problems -- in particular for those requiring the complete enumeration of satisfying truth assignments -- rely their efficiency on the detection of partial assignments satisfying an input formula. In…
