PPSZ, for long time the fastest known algorithm for $k$-SAT, works by going through the variables of the input formula in random order; each variable is then set randomly to $0$ or $1$, unless the correct value can be inferred by an…
In this paper, we prove that the general CNF satisfiability problem can be solved in $O^*(1.0638^L)$ time, where $L$ is the length of the input CNF-formula (i.e., the total number of literals in the formula), which improves the previous…
