Abstract:
We construct a probabilistic polynomial algorithm for testing the satisfiability of
algebraic formulas of depth 3 over the two-elementfield, with addition as the top operation in the
formulas. An algorithm with the same characteristics exists for the problem of testing whether
a polynomial given by formulas of this type is identically zero (PIT problem). However, these
problems and algorithms for their solution are essentially different. The probabilistic algorithm
for the PIT problem is based on the Schwartz–Zippel lemma, whereas the satisfiability testing
algorithm proposed in this paper is based on the Valiant–Vazirani lemma.
Keywords:
satisfiability of Boolean formulas, probabilistic algorithm, algebraic formulas.
