Abstract: Random-2+p-SAT interpolates between the polynomial-time problem Random-2-SAT when p = 0 and the NP-complete problem Random3 -SAT when p = 1. At some value p = p 0  0:41, a dramatic change in the structural nature of instances is predicted by statistical mechanics methods. This is reected by a change in the typical cost scaling for a complete search method Tableau, seen experimentally. We show empirically the same change of of behaviour in the local search algorithm WSat/Novelty , a... (Update)
