The rigorous theoretical analyses of algorithms for exact 3-satisfiability (X3SAT) have been proposed in the literature. As we know, previous algorithms for solving X3SAT have been analyzed only regarding the number of variables as the…

Consider a random $k$-CNF formula $F_{k}(n, rn)$ with $n$ variables and $rn$ clauses. For every truth assignment $\sigma\in \{0, 1\}^{n}$ and every clause $c=\ell_{1}\vee\cdots\vee\ell_{k}$, let $d=d(\sigma, c)$ be the number of satisfied…
In the field of Boolean satisfiability problems (SAT), at-most-k constraints, which suppress the number of true target variables at most k, are often used to describe objective problems. At-most-k constraints are used not only for…
MAX NAE-SAT is a natural optimization problem, closely related to its better-known relative MAX SAT. The approximability status of MAX NAE-SAT is almost completely understood if all clauses have the same size $k$, for some $k\ge 2$. We…

What is the minimum amount of information and time needed to solve 2SAT? When the instance is known, it can be solved in polynomial time, but is this also possible without knowing the instance? Bei, Chen and Zhang (STOC '13) considered a…
In this paper we study a variation of the random $k$-SAT problem, called polarized random $k$-SAT. In this model there is a polarization parameter $p$, and in half of the clauses each variable occurs negated with probability $p$ and pure…
