Connectivity of Boolean Satisfiability
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
For this implicitly defined graph, we here study the st-connectivity and connectivity problems. Building on the work of Gopalan et al. ...
for the connectivity problem, we show a trichotomy in the case of quantified formulas, while in the case of formulas without constants, we identify fragments of a possible trichotomy. ...
This is a reason for us to study the solution space also for Boolean circuits. ...

A Computational Trichotomy for Connectivity of Boolean Satisfiability

In 2006, Gopalan et al. studied connectivity properties of the solution graph and related complexity issues for CSPs, motivated mainly by research on satisfiability algorithms and the satisfiability threshold ...
They proved dichotomies for the diameter of connected components and for the complexity of the st-connectivity question, and conjectured a trichotomy for the connectivity question. ...

The Connectivity of Boolean Satisfiability: No-Constants and Quantified Variants

This is possible in polynomialtime since satisfiability for Horn formulas is in P, and produces a connectivityequivalent formula φ ′ without unit clauses. ...

New results on rewrite-based satisfiability procedures
2009
ACM Transactions on Computational Logic
If a sound and complete inference system for first-order logic is guaranteed to terminate on T-satisfiability problems, any theorem-proving strategy with that system and a fair search plan is a T-satisfiability ...
We give a modularity theorem stating sufficient conditions for termination on a combinations of theories, given termination on each. The above theories, as well as others, satisfy these conditions. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We thank Mnacho Echenim for several suggestions to improve preliminary versions of this article, and especially for helping us correcting the proofs of Section 3.2. ...

Since it is in general NP-hard to find a nontrivial (i.e., nonempty) satisfiability preserving assignment, we introduce linear satisfiability preserving assignments, which are defined by polyhedral cones ...

Complexity of Generalized Satisfiability Counting Problems
1996
Information and Computation
The class of generalized satisfiability problems, introduced in 1978 by Schaefer, presents a uniform way of studying the complexity of satisfiability problems with special conditions. ...
Clearly, all satisfiability counting problems belong to this class *P. We prove a Dichotomy Theorem for generalized satisfiability counting problems. ...
Take the generic assignment s 0 = , s # Sat(A) s. Since A is logically equivalent to a Horn formula, the generic assignment s 0 satisfies the formula A. ...

The phase transition in random Horn satisfiability and its algorithmic implications
[article]
1999

pre-print
Let c>0 be a constant, and Φ be a random Horn formula with n variables and m=c· 2^n clauses, chosen uniformly at random (with repetition) from the set of all nonempty Horn clauses in the given variables ...
By analyzing , a natural implementation of positive unit resolution, we show that _n∞ (Φ is satisfiable)= 1-F(e^-c), where F(x)=(1-x)(1-x^2)(1-x^4)(1-x^8)... . ...
A Horn formula is a conjunction of Horn clauses. Horn satisfiability (denoted by HORN-SAT) is the problem of deciding whether a given Horn formula has a satisfying assignment. ...
