We prove the existence of two thresholds regarding the compilability of random 2-CNF formulas to OBDDs. The formulas are drawn from $\mathcal{F}_2(n,\delta n)$, the uniform distribution over all 2-CNFs with $\delta n$ clauses and $n$…

We describe an algorithm to solve the problem of Boolean CNF-Satisfiability when the input formula is chosen randomly. We build upon the algorithms of Sch{\"{o}}ning 1999 and Dantsin et al.~in 2002. The Sch{\"{o}}ning algorithm works by…
