Satisfiability threshold for random regular NAE-SAT

J Ding, A Sly, N Sun - Proceedings of the forty-sixth annual ACM …, 2014 - dl.acm.org
We consider the random regular k-nae-sat problem with n variables each appearing in
exactly d clauses. For all k exceeding an absolute constant k 0, we establish explicitly the …

On the freezing of variables in random constraint satisfaction problems

G Semerjian - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2008 - Springer
The set of solutions of random constraint satisfaction problems (zero energy groundstates of
mean-field diluted spin glasses) undergoes several structural phase transitions as the …

Constraint satisfaction problems with isolated solutions are hard

L Zdeborová, M Mézard - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the phase diagram and the algorithmic hardness of the random'locked'constraint
satisfaction problems, and compare them to the commonly studied'non-locked'problems like …

Entropy landscape and non-Gibbs solutions in constraint satisfaction problems

L Dall'Asta, A Ramezanpour, R Zecchina - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2008 - APS
We study the entropy landscape of solutions for the bicoloring problem in random graphs, a
representative difficult constraint satisfaction problem. Our goal is to classify which types of …

The threshold for SDP-refutation of random regular NAE-3SAT

Y Deshpande, A Montanari, R O'Donnell… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - SIAM
Unlike its cousin 3SAT, the NAE-3SAT (not-all-equal-3SAT) problem has the property that
spectral/SDP algorithms can efficiently refute random instances when the constraint density …

Biased landscapes for random constraint satisfaction problems

L Budzynski, F Ricci-Tersenghi… - Journal of Statistical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The typical complexity of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) can be investigated by
means of random ensembles of instances. The latter exhibit many threshold phenomena …
