Abstract
Let Phi be a uniformly distributed random k-SAT formula with n variables and m clauses. We present a polynomial time algorithm that finds a satisfying assignment of Phi with high probability for constraint densities m/n < (1 - epsilon(k))2(k) ln(k)/k, where epsilon(k) -> 0. Previously no efficient algorithm was known to find satisfying assignments with a nonvanishing probability beyond m/n = 1.817 . 2(k)/k [A. Frieze and S. Suen, J. Algorithms, 20 (1996), pp. 312-355].
