In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the positive one-in-three satisfiability problem (Pos1in3SAT). The proposed algorithm can efficiently decide the existence of a satisfying assignment in all assignments for a given formula by using…
Complexity of a quantum analogue of the satisfiability problem is studied. Quantum k-SAT is a problem of verifying whether there exists n-qubit pure state such that its k-qubit reduced density matrices have support on prescribed subspaces.…
We study the Boolean Satisfiability problem (SAT) in the framework of diversity, where one asks for multiple solutions that are mutually far apart (i.e., sufficiently dissimilar from each other) for a suitable notion of…
This article finds the answer to the question: for any problem from which a non-deterministic algorithm can be derived which verifies whether an answer is correct or not in polynomial time (complexity class NP), is it possible to create an…
We introduce and benchmark a stochastic local search heuristic for the NP-complete satisfiability problem 3-SAT that drastically outperforms existing solvers in the notoriously difficult realm of critically hard instances. Our construction…
In the article \The State of SAT", the authors asked whether a procedure dramatically different from DPLL can be found for handling unsatisfiable instances. This study proposes a new linear programming approach to address this issue…
A generalized 1-in-3SAT problem is defined and found to be in complexity class P when restricted to a certain subset of CNF expressions. In particular, 1-in-kSAT with no restrictions on the number of literals per clause can be decided in…

Motivated by the application of Hall's Marriage Theorem in various LP-rounding problems, we introduce a generalization of the classical marriage problem (CMP) that we call the Fractional Marriage Problem. We show that the Fractional…
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…
The Exact Satisfiability problem, XSAT, is defined as the problem of finding a satisfying assignment to a formula in CNF such that there is exactly one literal in each clause assigned to be 1 and the other literals in the same clause are…
With using of multi-nary logic analytic formulas proposition that "kSAT is in P and could be solved in $O(n^{3.5})$" was proved
A canonical result about satisfiability theory is that the 2-SAT problem can be solved in linear time, despite the NP-hardness of the 3-SAT problem. In the quantum 2-SAT problem, we are given a family of 2-qubit projectors $\Pi_{ij}$ on a…
We investigate parameterizing hard combinatorial problems by the size of the solution set compared to all solution candidates. Our main result is a uniform sampling algorithm for satisfying assignments of 2-CNF formulas that runs in…
We prove that P != NP by proving the existence of a class of functions we call Tau, each of whose members satisfies the conditions of one-way functions. Each member of Tau is a function computable in polynomial time, with negligible…
This project investigates the potential of computers to solve complex tasks such as games. The paper proves that the complexity of a generalized version of spider solitaire is NP-Complete and uses much of structure of the proof that…
The field of fine-grained complexity aims at proving conditional lower bounds on the time complexity of computational problems. One of the most popular assumptions, Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH), implies that SAT cannot be…

We show that the CNF satisfiability problem (SAT) can be solved in time $O^*(1.1199^{(d-2)n})$, where $d$ is either the maximum number of occurrences of any variable or the average number of occurrences of all variables if no variable…
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,…
