The Phase Transition Analysis for the Random Regular Exact 2-(d, k)-SAT Problem

In a regular (d,k)-CNF formula, each clause has length k and each variable appears d times. A regular structure such as this is symmetric, and the satisfiability problem of this symmetric structure is called the (d,k)-SAT problem for short. The regular exact 2-(d,k)-SAT problem is that for a (d,k)-CNF formula F, if there is a truth assignment T, then exactly two literals of each clause in F are true. If the formula F contains only positive or negative literals, then there is a satisfiable assignment T with a size of 2n/k such that F is 2-exactly satisfiable. This paper introduces the (d,k)-SAT instance generation model, constructs the solution space, and employs the method of the first and second moments to present the phase transition point d* of the 2-(d,k)-SAT instance with only positive literals. When dd*, the 2-(d,k)-SAT instance can not be satisfied with high probability. Finally, the verification results demonstrate that the theoretical results are consistent with the experimental results.
