Decision methods for linearly ordered Heyting algebras
Abstract. The decision problem for positively quantified formulae in the theory of linearly ordered Heyting algebras is known, as a special case of work of Kreisel, to be solvable;...

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...
