The linear phase transition conjecture for random K-SAT
The linear phase transition conjecture for random K-SAT
A random K-SAT instance has Boolean variables and clauses, where is the clause-to-variable ratio and is the number of literals per clause. The linear phase transition conjecture. For every there exists a constant such that a random K-SAT formula is satisfiable when and is not satisfiable when , with high probability as . Equivalently, satisfiability undergoes a linear sharp phase transition at . The sharp phase transition is known in a more general setting, and the case is solved with ; the existence of the linear threshold for higher is the outstanding part of the conjecture.
