Abstract: An algorithm for the Satisfiability problem is presented and its probabilistic behavior is analysed when combined with two other algorithms studied earlier. The analysis is based on an instance distribution which is parameterized to simulate a variety of sample characteristics. The algorithm dynamically assigns values to literals appearing in a given instance until a satisfying assignment is found or the algorithm "gives up" without determining whether or not a solution exists. It is shown that ... (Update)

.... heuristics have been developed to solve the problem[9, 7] and rigorous analysis has been conducted based on well defined random models[2, 1]. The former gives us tools to solve the problem and the latter provides us theoretical background. Most of the current available SAT...

.... when p ln(n) r) The result is similar to a dual result on CNF Boolean instances and a unit clause algorithm that was presented in [3]. However, that result is not strong enough to be applied here. Therefore, in what follows we strengthen the result of [3] and adapt it to...
