Abstract:How many k-SAT functions on n boolean variables are there? What does a typical such function look like? Bollobás, Brightwell, and Leader conjectured that, for each fixed k ≥ 2, the number of k-SAT functions on n variables is (1 + o(1))2 ( n k )+n , or equivalently: a 1 − o(1) fraction of all k-SAT functions are unate, i.e., monotone after negating some variables. They proved a weaker version of the conjecture for k = 2. The conjecture was confirmed for k = 2 by Allen and k = 3 by Ilinca and Kahn.We show that t… Show more
