| 3-CNF公式的随机难解实例生成对于揭示3-SAT问题的难解实质和设计满足性测试的有效算法有着重要意义.对于整数k>2和s>0,如果在一个k-CNF公式中每个变量正负出现次数均为s,则称该公式是严格正则(k,2s)-CNF公式.受严格正则(k,2s)-CNF公式的结构特征启发,提出每个变量正负出现次数之差的绝对值均为d的严格d-正则(k,2s)-CNF公式,并使用新提出的SDRRK2S模型生成严格d-正则随机(k,2s)-CNF公式.取定整数5<s<11,模拟实验显示,严格d-正则随机(3,2s)-SAT问题存在SAT-UNSAT相变现象和HARD-EASY相变现象.因此,立足于3-CNF公式的随机难解实例生成,研究了严格d-正则随机(3,2s)-SAT问题在s取定时的可满足临界.通过构造一个特殊随机实验和使用一阶矩方法,得到了严格d-正则随机(3,2s)-SAT问题在s取定时可满足临界值的一个下界.模拟实验结果验证了理论证明所得下界的正确性. |

| Abstract: |
| Generating random hard instances of the 3-CNF formula is an important factor in revealing the intractability of the 3-SAT problem and designing effective algorithms for satisfiability testing. Let k>2 and s>0 be integers, a k-CNF formula is a strictly regular (k,2s)-CNF one if the positive and negative occurrence number of every variable in the formula are s. On the basis of the strictly regular (k,2s)-CNF formula, the strictly d-regular (k,2s)-CNF formula is proposed in which the absolute value of the difference between positive and negative occurrence number of every variable is d. A novel model is constructed to generate the strictly d-regular random (k,2s)-CNF formula. The simulated experiments show that the strictly d-regular random (3,2s)-SAT problem has an SAT-UNSAT phase transition and a HARD-EASY phase transition when the parameter 5<s<11 is fixed, and that the latter is related to the former. Hence, the satisfiability threshold of the strictly d-regular random (3,2s)-SAT problem is studied when the parameter s is fixed. A lower bound of the satisfiability threshold is obtained by constructing a random experiment and using the first moment method. The subsequent simulated experiments verify well the lower bound proved. |
