Several fragments of the satisfiability problem have been studied in the literature. Among these, Linear 3-SAT is a satisfaction problem in which each clause (viewed as a set of literals) intersects with at most one other clause; moreover,…

Given a satisfiable instance of 1-in-3 SAT, it is NP-hard to find a satisfying assignment for it, but it may be possible to efficiently find a solution subject to a weaker (not necessarily Boolean) predicate than `1-in-3'. There is a…

Partial Set Cover (PSC) is a generalization of the well-studied Set Cover problem (SC). In PSC the input consists of an integer $k$ and a set system $(U,S)$ where $U$ is a finite set, and $S \subseteq 2^U$ is a collection of subsets of $U$.…
