Abstract: We develop efficient deterministic algorithms for approximating the fraction of truth assignments that satisfy a disjunctive normal form formula. Although the algorithms themselves are deterministic, their analysis is probabilistic and uses the notion of limited independence between random variables.

...1 rk = 2. Very hard in general, the problem of counting models turns out to be quite tractable in many practical cases. Luby and Velickovic [22] have presented an algorithm for approximating the number of models of a DNF propositional formula with m clauses on n variables. The...

.... assignments of a boolean formula in DNF form F = 1 C i is an instance of the general problem that had been extensively studied [7]. Here A i is the set of assignments that satisfy C i , and Pr( i2S A i ) a S =2 where i2S C i is satis ed by a S assignments. Judging...
