We present an algorithm producing all rational functions $f$ with prescribed $n+1$ Taylor coefficients at the origin and such that $\|f\|_\infty\le 1$ and $\deg f\le k$ for every fixed $k\ge n$. The case where $k<n$ is also discussed.

In the Maxmin E$k$-SAT Reconfiguration problem, we are given a satisfiable $k$-CNF formula $\varphi$ where each clause contains exactly $k$ literals, along with a pair of its satisfying assignments. The objective is transform one satisfying…

We express the Riemann zeta function $\zeta\left(s\right)$ of argument $s=\sigma+i\tau$ with imaginary part $\tau$ in terms of three absolutely convergent series. The resulting simple algorithm allows to compute, to arbitrary precision,…

The basic random $k$-SAT problem is: Given a set of $n$ Boolean variables, and $m$ clauses of size $k$ picked uniformly at random from the set of all such clauses on our variables, is the conjunction of these clauses satisfiable? Here we…

We prove a lower bound of exp(-C (log(2/alpha))^7)N^{k-1} to the number of solutions of an invariant equation in k variables, contained in a set of density alpha. Moreover, we give a Behrend-type construction for the same problem with the…

Let $\Phi$ be a random $k$-SAT formula in which every variable occurs precisely $d$ times positively and $d$ times negatively. Assuming that $k$ is sufficiently large and that $d$ is slightly below the critical degree where the formula…

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and let $k$ be a field (of arbitrary characteristic) accessible to symbolic computation. We describe an algorithmic test for determining whether or not a finitely presented $k$-algebra $R$ has infinitely many…

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 $O^*(1.260^n)$.

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…

We give a nearly linear-time algorithm to approximately sample satisfying assignments in the random $k$-SAT model when the density of the formula scales exponentially with $k$. The best previously known sampling algorithm for the random…

The problem of identifying the satisfiability threshold of random $3$-SAT formulas has received a lot of attention during the last decades and has inspired the study of other threshold phenomena in random combinatorial structures. The…

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 Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH) is a standard assumption in (fine-grained) parameterized complexity and many tight lower bounds are based on it. We consider a number of reasonable weakenings of the SETH, with sources from (i)…

While 3-SAT is NP-hard, 2-SAT is solvable in polynomial time. Austrin, Guruswami, and H\r{a}stad roved a result known as "$(2+\varepsilon)$-SAT is NP-hard" [FOCS'14/SICOMP'17]. They showed that the problem of distinguishing k-CNF formulas…
