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…

In this short paper we present a survey of some results concerning the random SAT problems. To elaborate, the Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) Problem refers to the problem of determining whether a given set of $m$ Boolean constraints over $n$…

Random instances of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP's) appear to be hard for all known algorithms, when the number of constraints per variable lies in a certain interval. Contributing to the general understanding of the structure of…

It is crucial to generate crafted SAT formulas with predefined solutions for the testing and development of SAT solvers since many SAT formulas from real-world applications have solutions. Although some generating algorithms have been…

Article describes a class of efficient algorithms for 3SAT and their generalizations on SAT.

We introduce a new local search algorithm for satisfiability problems. Usual approaches focus uniformly on unsatisfied clauses. The new method works by picking uniformly random variables in unsatisfied clauses. A Variable-based Focused…

We lay the foundations of a new theory for algorithms and computational complexity by parameterizing the instances of a computational problem as a moduli scheme. Considering the geometry of the scheme associated to 3-SAT, we separate P and…

Classically, for many computational problems one can conclude time lower bounds conditioned on the hardness of one or more of key problems: k-SAT, 3SUM and APSP. More recently, similar results have been derived in the quantum setting…

There are two competing paradigms in successful SAT solvers: Conflict-driven clause learning (CDCL) and stochastic local search (SLS). CDCL uses systematic exploration of the search space and has the ability to learn new clauses. SLS…

SARRIGUREN, a new complete algorithm for SAT based on counting clauses (which is valid also for Unique-SAT and #SAT) is described, analyzed and tested. Although existing complete algorithms for SAT perform slower with clauses with many…

In the last 30 years it was found that many combinatorial systems undergo phase transitions. One of the most important examples of these can be found among the random k-satisfiability problems (often referred to as k-SAT), asking whether…

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…

Classical satisfiability (SAT) and quantum satisfiability (QSAT) are complete problems for the complexity classes NP and QMA which are believed to be intractable for classical and quantum computers, respectively. Statistical ensembles of…

A 3-SAT problem is called positive and planar if all the literals are positive and the clause-variable incidence graph (i.e., SAT graph) is planar. The NAE 3-SAT and 1-in-3-SAT are two variants of 3-SAT that remain NP-complete even when…

Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) models many important intractable NP-hard problems such as propositional satisfiability problem (SAT). Algorithms with non-trivial upper bounds on running time for restricted SAT with bounded clause…

Using powerful Multicanonical Ensemble Monte Carlo methods from statistical physics we explore the realization space of random K satisfiability (KSAT) in search for computational hard problems, most likely the 'hardest problems'. We search…

A novel parallel algorithm for solving the classical Decision Boolean Satisfiability problem with clauses in conjunctive normal form is depicted. My approach for solving SAT is without using algebra or other computational search strategies…

The XOR-satisfiability (XORSAT) problem deals with a system of $n$ Boolean variables and $m$ clauses. Each clause is a linear Boolean equation (XOR) of a subset of the variables. A $K$-clause is a clause involving $K$ distinct variables. In…

By creating some new concepts and methods: checking tree, long unit path, direct contradiction unit pair, indirect contradiction unit pair, additional contradiction unit pair, 2-unit layer and 3-unit layer, redundant units, and destroying…

In this paper I present a 3SAT algorithm based on the randomized algorithm of Papadimitriou from 1991, and Schoning from 1991. We also present strong arguments that this algorithm finds a solution (if it exists) for a 3SAT problem with high…
