Hidden Gold in Random Generation of SAT Satisfiable Instances
Evaluation of incomplete algorithms that solve SAT requires to generate hard satisfiable instances. For that purpose, the kSAT uniform random generation is not usable. The other g...

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...

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...

Generating Satisfiable Problem Instances
A major difficulty in evaluating incomplete local search style algorithms for constraint satisfaction problems is the need for a source of hard problem instances that are guarante...
