A Random Constraint Satisfaction Problem That Seems Hard for DPLL
Abstract. This paper discusses an NP-complete constraint satisfaction problem which appears to share many of the threshold characteristics of SAT but is similar to XOR-SAT and so i...

Phase Transitions and Complexity of Weighted Satisfiability and Other Intractable Parameterized Problems
The study of random instances of NP complete and coNP complete problems has had much impact on our understanding of the nature of hard problems. In this work, we initiate an effor...

Random subcubes as a toy model for constraint satisfaction problems
We present an exactly solvable random-subcube model inspired by the structure of hard constraint satisfaction and optimization problems. Our model reproduces the structure of the s...

Unbiased Statistics of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem - a Controlled-Bias Generator
: We show that estimating the complexity (mean and distribution) of the instances of a fixed size Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) can be very hard. We deal with the main two ...

VARSAT: Integrating Novel Probabilistic Inference Techniques with DPLL Search
Probabilistic inference techniques can be used to estimate variable bias, or the proportion of solutions to a given SAT problem that fix a variable positively or negatively. Metho...
