the satisfiability threshold in random k-sat

abstract:

consider a uniformly random k-sat instance with a fixed ratio of the number of clauses to the number of variables. as the clause-variable ratio increases, a curious phenomenon appears. with high probability the random instance is satisfiable below a certain threshold and unsatisfiable above the same threshold. this talk will give an overview of the problem of determining the precise threshold for random k-sat, including various algorithmic approaches, the connections to statistical physics, friedman's sharp threshold theorem, and the determination of the k-sat threshold for large k by ding, sun, and sly in 2014.
