Software tool to generate the Ising model for random $k$-SAT problems

Is there a software tool available to study the phase transition of the underlying Ising model for a given class of random $k$-SAT problems? I am basically asking whether the framework presented in ...

Clauses structure as quenched random matrix for random $k$-SAT problems

In the Section III of Statistical mechanics of the random K-SAT model, the clauses structure of random $k$-SAT problems are expressed as $M \times N$ quenched random matrix where the numbers of ...

Generating hard satisfiability problems with given constraint graph

Is there a systematic way to tune the hardness of a set of satisfiability problems (say 3-SAT or MAX2SAT) where the constraint graphs are always embeddable into a fixed given graph?

Approximate answer to Max-SMT (bitvector) query

I have a problem that could be completely solved as Max-SMT instances in the theory of quantifier-free bit-vectors, but it apparently is too complex to be tractable with current Max-SMT technology. ...

Complexity class of MCS and relation to #p

I was looking for the complexity class of computing MCS: Given a boolean formula $\mathcal{F = c_1 \wedge c_2,...,\wedge c_m}$ represented in CNF, a MCS is a subset of the set of clauses $\mathcal{C}$ ...

Number of local maxima in MAX-2-SAT

Given an instance of MAX-2-SAT, let us call an assignment of variables a "local maximum" if changing the value of any variable reduces the number of satisfied clauses. My question is, how many local ...

Balanced Max-2-SAT NP-Hardness

The Balanced Max-2-SAT is a special case of Max-2-SAT (each clause is a disjunction of exactly 2 literals) in which for every variable $x$, there is a $k$ such that $x$ appears positive exactly $k$ ...

MAX 1 in 2 SAT Algorithm

The maximum satisfiability problem (Max-Sat) is the problem of finding the maximum number of clauses that can be satisified in a Boolean satisfiability instance. The exactly 1 in 2 Sat problem asks, ...

Polynomial time solvable instances of Max-Sat

The problem Max-Sat ask you to find an assignment of a CNF formula which satisfy as many clauses as possible. For the simpler problem SAT there are many known special cases which can be solved in ...

For what k is MAX-2-SAT-k NP-complete?

It is well-known that it is NP-complete to decide whether in a 2-CNF at least s clauses are satisfiable. It also follows from the reduction from 3-SAT-3 that we can suppose that every literal occurs ...
