In this paper we detail a classical algorithmic approach to the k-satisfiability (k-SAT) problem that is inspired by the quantum amplitude amplification algorithm. This work falls under the emerging field of quantum-inspired classical algorithms. To propose our modification, we adopt an existing problem model for k-SAT known as Universal SAT (UniSAT), which casts the Boolean satisfiability problem as a non-convex global optimization over a real-valued space. The quantuminspired modification to UniSAT is to apply a conditioning operation to the objective function that has the effect of "amplifying" the function value at points corresponding to optimal solutions. We describe the algorithm for achieving this amplification, termed "AmplifySAT," which follows a familiar twostep process of applying an oracle-like operation followed by a reflection about the average. We then discuss opportunities for meaningfully leveraging this processing in a classical digital or analog computing setting, attempting to identify the strengths and limitations of AmplifySAT in the context of existing non-convex optimization strategies like simulated annealing and gradient descent.
