TY - JOUR T1 - New Lower Bound of Critical Function for (k, s)-SAT AU - JO - Journal of Information and Computing Science VL - 1 SP - 03 EP - 10 PY - 2024 DA - 2024/01 SN - 1 DO - http://doi.org/ UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jics/22854.html KW - ( , )k s AB - ( , )k s is the propositional satisfiable problem restricted to instances where each clause has exactly k distinct literals and every variable occurs at most s times. It is known that there exits an exponential is already NP- function f such that for complete ( are only known 3 k = , and it(cid:146)s open whether k = and for is computable. The best known lower and upper bounds 3 Ω − ≈ on ( ) , respectively. In this paper, analogous to the , where f k are randomized algorithm for finding two coloring of k − uniform hypergraph, we first present a similar randomize algorithm for outputting an assignment for a given formula. Based on it and by probabilistic
