The linear phase transition conjecture for random K-LSAT

About 24 years old · traced to

Let cK∗c^*_K be the constant introduced in the source's theorem for the optimal value LP(n,c){\cal LP}(n,c) of the random K-LSAT linear program, and consider the corresponding feasibility problem obtained by setting all auxiliary variables ψj\psi_j to zero. K-LSAT linear phase transition conjecture. With high probability as n→∞n\rightarrow\infty, the random K-LSAT problem with cncn constraints is satisfiable if c<cK∗c<c^*_K and is not satisfiable if c>cK∗c>c^*_K. The preceding theorem proves the analogous linear transition for the relaxed optimization problem, but not for feasibility with all ψ\psi variables fixed to zero; the source states that this feasibility transition remains unproved.
