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.…

In signed k-SAT problems, one fixes a set M and a set $\mathcal S$ of subsets of M, and is given a formula consisting of a disjunction of m clauses, each of which is a conjunction of k literals. Each literal is of the form "$x \in S$",…

We present a new structural (or syntatic) approach for estimating the satisfiability threshold of random 3-SAT formulae. We show its efficiency in obtaining a jump from the previous upper bounds, lowering them to 4.506. The method combines…

We consider worst case time bounds for NP-complete problems including 3-SAT, 3-coloring, 3-edge-coloring, and 3-list-coloring. Our algorithms are based on a constraint satisfaction (CSP) formulation of these problems; 3-SAT is equivalent to…
