Proof of the satisfiability conjecture for large k

J Ding, A Sly, N Sun - Proceedings of the forty-seventh annual ACM …, 2015 - dl.acm.org
We establish the satisfiability threshold for random k-SAT for all k≥ k0. That is, there exists a
limiting density αs (k) such that a random k-SAT formula of clause density α is with high …

The adaptive interpolation method: a simple scheme to prove replica formulas in Bayesian inference

J Barbier, N Macris - Probability theory and related fields, 2019 - Springer
In recent years important progress has been achieved towards proving the validity of the
replica predictions for the (asymptotic) mutual information (or “free energy”) in Bayesian …
