Finding Small Backdoors in SAT Instances
Although propositional satisfiability (SAT) is NP-complete, state-of-the-art SAT solvers are able to solve large, practical instances. The concept of backdoors has been introduced...

Backdoor Trees
The surprisingly good performance of modern satisfiability (SAT) solvers is usually explained by the existence of a certain "hidden structure" in real-world instances. W...

A New Empirical Study of Weak Backdoors
Abstract. Work by Kilby, Slaney, Thiebaux and Walsh [1] showed that the backdoors and backbones of unstructured Random 3SAT instances are largely disjoint. In this work we extend t...

Finding Small Triangulations of Polytope Boundaries Is Hard
We prove that it is NP-hard to decide whether a polyhedral 3-ball can be triangulated with k simplices. The construction also implies that it is difficult to find the minimal trian...

Redundancy in Random SAT Formulas
The random k-SAT model is extensively used to compare satisfiability algorithms or to find the best settings for the parameters of some algorithm. Conclusions are derived from the...
