Abstract

Relaxation and..... A study was conducted on the dynamics of a simple search procedure for the satisfaction of Boolean constraints, the RandomWalkSAT algorithm. It was shown using complementary techniques that, for randmly drawn input instances, RandomWalkSAT may have two qualitatively distinct behaviors. Instances with small ratios α of clauses pervariable were almost surely solved in a time growing linearly with their size.
