On Local versus Global Satisfiability
Abstract:
We prove an extremal combinatorial result regarding
the fraction of satisfiable clauses in boolean CNF
formulae enjoying a locally checkable property, thus
solving a problem that has been open for several years.
We then generalize the problem to arbitrary constraint
satisfaction problems. We prove a tight result even in
the generalized case.
