We give a new insight into the upper bounding of the 3-SAT threshold by the first moment method. The best criteria developed so far to select the solutions to be counted discrimina...
: k-SAT is one of the best known among a wide class of random constraint satisfaction problems believed to exhibit a threshold phenomenon where the control parameter is the ratio, ...
Prior algorithms known for exactly solving Max 2-Sat improve upon the trivial upper bound only for very sparse instances. We present new algorithms for exactly solving (in fact, c...
