Accurate, low-latency estimates of the instantaneous phase of oscillations are essential for closed-loop sensing and actuation, including (but not limited to) phase-locked neurostimulation and other real-time applications. The…
The poset cover problem seeks a minimum set of partial orders whose linear extensions cover a given set of linear orders. Recognizing its NP-completeness, we devised a non-trivial reduction to the Boolean satisfiability problem using a…
Finding a quantum computing method to solve nondeterministic polynomial time (NP)-complete problems is currently of paramount importance in quantum information science. Here an experiment is presented to demonstrate the use of Rydberg atoms…
We prove upper and lower bounds for the threshold of the q-overlap-k-Exact cover problem. These results are motivated by the one-step replica symmetry breaking approach of Statistical Physics, and the hope of using an approach based on that…
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…
The $k$-ExactCover problem is a parameterized version of the ExactCover problem, in which we are given a universe $U$, a collection $S$ of subsets of $U$, and an integer $k$, and the task is to determine whether $U$ can be partitioned into…
Two-level atoms interacting with a one mode cavity field at zero temperature have order parameters which reflect the presence of a quantum phase transition at a critical value of the atom-cavity coupling strength. Two popular examples are…
Form a random k-SAT formula on n variables by selecting uniformly and independently m=rn clauses out of all 2^k (n choose k) possible k-clauses. The Satisfiability Threshold Conjecture asserts that for each k there exists a constant r_k…
To study the structure of solutions for random k-SAT and random CSPs, this paper introduces the concept of average similarity degree to characterize how solutions are similar to each other. It is proved that under certain conditions, as r…
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…
The Random Satisfiability problem has been intensively studied for decades. For a number of reasons the focus of this study has mostly been on the model, in which instances are sampled uniformly at random from a set of formulas satisfying…
We focus on the random generation of SAT instances that have properties similar to real-world instances. It is known that many industrial instances, even with a great number of variables, can be solved by a clever solver in a reasonable…
We study the vertex-cover problem which is an NP-hard optimization problem and a prototypical model exhibiting phase transitions on random graphs, e.g., Erdoes-Renyi (ER) random graphs. These phase transitions coincide with changes of the…
The satisfiability problem is known to be $\mathbf{NP}$-complete in general and for many restricted cases. One way to restrict instances of $k$-SAT is to limit the number of times a variable can be occurred. It was shown that for an…
The Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) is one of the major domains in the field of evolutionary computation, and more widely in combinatorial optimization. This paper studies the phase transition of the QAP, which can be described as a…
We consider bounded solutions of the nonlocal Allen-Cahn equation $$ (-\Delta)^s u=u-u^3\qquad{\mbox{ in }}{\mathbb{R}}^3,$$ under the monotonicity condition $\partial_{x_3}u>0$ and in the genuinely nonlocal regime in…
Transitions out of the ground space limit the performance of quantum adiabatic algorithms, while hardware imperfections impose stringent limitations on the circuit depth. We propose an adiabatic echo verification protocol which mitigates…
One of the most studied models of SAT is random SAT. In this model, instances are composed from clauses chosen uniformly randomly and independently of each other. This model may be unsatisfactory in that it fails to describe various…
In this paper, we consider an exponential scalar auxiliary variable (E-SAV) approach to obtain energy stable schemes for a class of phase field models. This novel auxiliary variable method based on exponential form of nonlinear free energy…
The second moment method has always been an effective tool to lower bound the satisfiability threshold of many random constraint satisfaction problems. However, the calculation is usually hard to carry out and as a result, only some loose…
