Learning to Identify Global Bottlenecks in Constraint Satisfaction Search
Using information from failures to guide subsequent search is an important technique for solving combinatorial problems in domains such as boolean satisfiability (SAT) and constr...

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...

Random MAX SAT, random MAX CUT, and their phase transitions
With random inputs, certain decision problems undergo a “phase transition”. We prove similar behavior in an optimization context. Given a conjunctive normal form (CNF) formula...

The Complexity of Making Unique Choices: Approximating 1-in- k SAT
We study the approximability of 1-in-kSAT, the variant of Max kSAT where a clause is deemed satisfied when precisely one of its literals is satisfied. We also investigate differ...

Random k-GD-Sat Model and its Phase Transition
Abstract: We present a new type of sat problem called the k-gd-sat, which generalizes k-sat and gd-sat. In k-gd-sat, clause lengths have geometric distribution, controlled by a pro...
