The Condensation Phase Transition in the Regular k-SAT Model

pdf-format:

Abstract

Much of the recent work on phase transitions in discrete structures has been inspired by ingenious but non-rigorous approaches from physics. The physics predictions typically come in the form of distributional fixed point problems that mimic Belief Propagation, a message passing algorithm. In this paper we show how the Belief Propagation calculation can be turned into a rigorous proof of such a prediction, namely the existence and location of a condensation phase transition in the regular k-SAT model.
