From Algorithms to Connectivity and Back: Finding a Giant Component in Random k-SAT

Z Chen, N Mani, A Moitra - Proceedings of the 2023 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2023 - SIAM
We take an algorithmic approach to studying the solution space geometry of relatively
sparse random and bounded degree k-CNFs for large k. In the course of doing so, we …

Towards derandomising markov chain monte carlo

W Feng, H Guo, C Wang, J Wang… - 2023 IEEE 64th Annual …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a new framework to derandomise certain Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)
algorithms. As in MCMC, we first reduce counting problems to sampling from a sequence of …

Improved bounds for sampling solutions of random CNF formulas

K He, K Wu, K Yang - Proceedings of the 2023 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2023 - SIAM
Let Φ be a random k-CNF formula on n variables and m clauses, where each clause is a
disjunction of k literals chosen independently and uniformly. Our goal is, for most Φ, to …

Sampling Lovász local lemma for general constraint satisfaction solutions in near-linear time
