Non-Linear Time Lower Bound for (Succinct) Quantified Boolean Formulas
We prove a model-independent non-linear time lower bound for a slight generalization of the quantified Boolean formula problem (QBF). In particular, we give a reduction from arbitrary languages in alternating time t(n) to QBFs describable in O(t(n)) bits by a reasonable (polynomially) succinct encoding. The reduction works for many reasonable machine models, including multitape Turing machines,...
متن کاملBeating Exhaustive Search for Quantified Boolean Formulas and Connections to Circuit Complexity
We study algorithms for the satisfiability problem for quantified Boolean formulas (QBFs), and consequences of faster algorithms for circuit complexity. • We show that satisfiability of quantified 3-CNFs with m clauses, n variables, and two quantifier blocks (one existential block and one universal) can be solved deterministically in time 2n−Ω( √ n) · poly(m). For the case of multiple quantifie...
متن کاملSolving Quantified Boolean Formulas
Solving Quantified Boolean Formulas Horst Samulowitz Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2007 Many real-world problems do not have a simple algorithmic solution and casting these problems as search problems is often not only the simplest way of casting them, but also the most efficient way of solving them. In this thesis we will present several tec...
متن کاملExpressiveness and Complexity of Subclasses of Quantified Boolean Formulas
We give a brief overview of expressiveness and complexity results for a hierarchy of subclasses of quantified Boolean formulas with close connections to Boolean circuits and minimal unsatisfiability.
متن کاملSymmetries of Quantified Boolean Formulas
While symmetries are well understood for Boolean formulas and successfully exploited in practical SAT solving, less is known about symmetries in quantified Boolean formulas (QBF). There are some works introducing adaptions of propositional symmetry breaking techniques, with a theory covering only very specific parts of QBF symmetries. We present a general framework that gives a concise characte...
