Let f be a random Boolean formula that is an instance of 3-SAT. We consider the problem of computing the least real number k such that if the ratio of the number of clauses over the number of variables of f strictly exceeds k , then f is almost certainly unsatisfiable. By a well-known and more or less straightforward argument, it can be shown that kF5.191. This upper bound was improved by Kamath et al. to 4.758 by first providing new improved bounds for the occupancy problem. There is strong experimental evidence that the value of k is around 4.2. In this work, we define, in terms of the random formula f, a decreasing sequence of random variables such that, if the expected value of any one of them converges to zero, then f is almost certainly unsatisfiable. By letting the expected value of the first term of the sequence converge to zero, we obtain, by simple and elementary computations, an upper bound for k equal to 4.667. From the expected value of the second term of the sequence, we get the value 4.601q .

设f是一个随机布尔公式,它是3-SAT的一个实例。我们考虑计算最小实数k的问题,如果子句数与f的变量数之比严格超过k,则f几乎肯定是不满足的。通过一个众所周知的或多或少直截了当的论证,可以证明kF5.191。Kamath等人首先为占用问题提供了新的改进边界,将该上界改进为4.758。有强有力的实验证据表明,k的值在4.2左右。在这项工作中,我们根据随机公式f定义了一个递减的随机变量序列,如果其中任何一个的期望值收敛于零,那么f几乎肯定是不满足的。通过让序列第一项的期望值收敛于零,通过简单的初等计算,我们得到k的上界等于4.667。从序列第二项的期望值,我们得到值4.601q。这项工作是在第一作者访问卡尔顿Ž大学计算机科学学院期间进行的,并得到了NSERC自然科学与工程研究委员会的部分支持。由加拿大帕特雷大学(University of Patras)授予的公休假。第二和第三位Ž作者得到了NSERC自然科学与工程研究的部分资助。加拿大理事会。在这项研究的最后阶段,第一和最后的作者也部分Ž。欧盟ESPRIT长期研究项目ALCOM-IT项目(20244)资助。†本文的扩展摘要发表在第四届欧洲年会论文集Ž算法研讨会,ESA ' 96, September 25]27, 1996,巴塞罗那,西班牙。[27]该扩展摘要是由本文的前三位作者共同撰写的。致:l.m.

In dynamic graph algorithms the following provide-or-bound problem has to be solved quickly: Given a set S containing a subset R and a way of generating random elements from S testing for membership in R, either (i) provide an element of R, or (ii) give a (small) upper bound on the size of R that holds with high probability. We give an optimal algorithm for this problem. This algorithm improves the time per operation for various dynamic graph algorithms by a factor of O(log n). For example, it improves the time per update for fully dynamic connectivity from O(log3n) to O(log2n).
