A sharp threshold for a random constraint satisfaction problem

Discrete Mathematics, Vol. 285, No. 1-3. (6 August 2004), pp. 301-305.

X Abstract

We consider random instances I of a constraint satisfaction problem generalizing k-SAT: given a set of ordered k-tuples over n literals, and a set of q "bad" clause assignments, find an assignment which does not set any of the k-tuples to a bad clause assignment. We consider the case where k=[Omega](log n), and study the probability of satisfiability for a random instance I formed by including every k-tuple of literals independently with probability p. Appropriate choice of the bad clause assignments results in random instances of k-SAT and not-all-equal k-SAT. A second moment method calculation yields the sharp threshold

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
