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…
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 $O^*(1.260^n)$.
A major problem in evaluating stochastic local search algorithms for NP-complete problems is the need for a systematic generation of hard test instances having previously known properties of the optimal solutions. On the basis of…
Boolean satisfiability [1] (k-SAT) is one of the most studied optimization problems, as an efficient (that is, polynomial-time) solution to k-SAT (for $k\geq 3$) implies efficient solutions to a large number of hard optimization problems…
Presentation of a Method for determining whether a problem 3Sat has solution, and if yes to find one, in time max O(n^15). Is thus proved that the problem 3Sat is fully resolved in polynomial time and therefore that it is in P, by the work…
Optimization problems such as the NP-complete 3-SAT provide an important benchmark for the difficult task of finding ground-states in strongly correlated many-body systems with rugged energy landscapes. The study of random 3-SAT problems as…
In the Planar 3-SAT problem, we are given a 3-SAT formula together with its incidence graph, which is planar, and are asked whether this formula is satisfiable. Since Lichtenstein's proof that this problem is NP-complete, it has been used…
For each integer $t\ge 5$, we give a polynomial-time algorithm to test whether a graph contains an induced cycle with length at least $t$ and odd.
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…
We show how the implementation of conservative logic gates on flow networks suggests a way to solve 3SAT and 3-dimensional matching problems in polynomial time by using standard minimum-cost flow methods.
X3SAT is the problem of whether one can satisfy a given set of clauses with up to three literals such that in every clause, exactly one literal is true and the others are false. A related question is to determine the maximal Hamming…
We demonstrate that any logical problem can be solved by Bayesian inference. In this approach, the distinction between complexity classes vanishes. The method is illustrated by solving the 3-SAT problem in polynomial time. Beyond this,…
The structural phase transitions and computational complexity of random 3-SAT instances are traditionally described using thermodynamic analogies from statistical physics, such as Replica Symmetry Breaking and energy landscapes. While…
The problem of P vs. NP is very serious, and solutions to the problem can help save lives. This article is an attempt at solving the problem using a computer algorithm. It is presented in a fashion that will hopefully allow for easy…
A quantum machine consisting of interacting linear clusters of atoms is proposed for the 3SAT problem. Each cluster with two relevant states of collective motion can be used to register a Boolean variable. Given any 3SAT Boolean formula the…
It is shown that any two clauses in an instance of 3SAT sharing the same terminal which is positive in one clause and negated in the other can imply a new clause composed of the remaining terms from both clauses. Clauses can also imply…
The solution-space structure of the 3-Satisfiability Problem (3-SAT) is studied as a function of the control parameter alpha (ratio of number of clauses to the number of variables) using numerical simulations. For this purpose, one has to…

Going as far as possible at SAT problem solving is the main aim of our work. For this sake we have made use of quantum computing from its two, on practice, main models of computation. They have required some reformulations over the former…
