Definitions

• Satisfiability– An instance of the problem is defined by a Boolean expression written

using only AND, OR, NOT, variables, and parentheses. The question is: given the expression, is there some assignment of TRUE and FALSE values to the variables that will make the entire expression true?*

• Product of Sums– A way of arranging a boolean expression such that the final output is a

result of ‘AND’ing some ‘OR’ clauses where each term within an ‘OR’ clause may or may not be ‘NOT’ed.

• n– The number of boolean variables found in the expression (with or

without a NOT)• m

– The number of ‘OR’ clauses ‘AND’ed together in the boolean expression• K

– The maximum number of variables found within each OR clause

* Definition from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisfiability


K-Satisfiability

• K is the maximum number of terms allowed per ‘OR’ clause.• For any K > 2, the problem lies in NP-Complete

– Solution of order 2n

• Special K’s– 3SAT

• 3 Colorable Graph problem• Still NP-Complete

– 2SAT• Polynomial time solution

• K = 5– (A + B’ + C)(B + C’ + E’)(A’ + B + C’+ D’ + E)(B + D)

• K = 3 (3SAT)– (X’ + Y)(X + Y’ + Z)(X’ + Z’)(Y + Z’)

• K = 2 (2SAT)– (X1 + X2)(X2’ + X3)(X1’ + X2’)(X3 + X4)(X3’ + X5)(X4’ + X5’)(X3’ + X4)


3 – Colorable Transformation

Procedure Transform(G)for each vertex vi in G

output(ri + yi + bi)for each edge (vi,vj) in G

output(ri’ + rj ’)(yi’ + yj’)(bi’ + bj’)

output : boolean expression with K = 3

Davis - Putnam

• Recursive but still 2n

• Prunes off branches which will not yield a result.• Does not examine the entire expression at each

guess

Procedure split (E)1. if E has an empty clause, then return2. if E has no clauses, then exit with current partial assignment3. select next unassigned variable, xi, in E4. split ( E ( xi = 0 ) )5. split ( E ( xi = 1 ) )

2- Satisfiability

Pick an assignment

Drop terms that become true

Make assignments based on initial assignment.

Repeat….

(X1 + X2)(X2’ + X3)(X1’ + X2’)(X3 + X4)(X3’ + X5)(X4’ + X5’)(X3’ + X4)


Summary

• For K-Satisfiability where K > 2 it is an NP-Complete Problem

• 2-Satisfiability is solvable in polynomial time• Davis-Putnam improves efficiency but does not

decrease order of complexity• 3-Colorable problem is synonymous to 3-

Satisfiability
