Abstract We study interactions between Skolem Arithmetic and certain classes of Circuit Satisfiability and Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). We revisit results of Glaser et al. [1] in the context of CSPs and settle the major open question from that paper, finding a certain satisfiability problem on circuits—involving complement, intersection, union and multiplication—to be decidable. This we prove using the decidability of Skolem Arithmetic. Then we solve a second question left open in… Expand

Emptiness problems for integer circuits
TLDR
It turns out that the following problems are equivalent to PIT, which shows that the challenge to improve their bounds is just a reformulation of a well-studied, major open problem in algebraic computing complexity. Expand

Constraint Satisfaction Problems over Numeric Domains
TLDR
A survey of complexity results for constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) over the integers, the rationals, the reals, and the complex numbers is presented, to identify those CSPs that can be solved in polynomial time, and to distinguish them from C SPs that are NP-hard. Expand
Discrete Mutation Hopfield Neural Network in Propositional Satisfiability
TLDR
This study provides a new paradigm in the field of neural networks by overcoming the overfitting issue and presents an integrated representation of k-satisfiability (kSAT) in a mutation hopfield neural network (MHNN). Expand
Systematic Boolean Satisfiability Programming in Radial Basis Function Neural Network
TLDR
A comprehensive investigation of the potential effect of systematic Satisfiability programming as a logical rule, namely 2 Satisfiability (2SAT) to optimize the output weights and parameters in RBFNN and provides a new paradigm in the field feed-forward neural network by implementing a more systematic propositional logic rule.

Satisfiability of Algebraic Circuits over Sets of Natural Numbers
TLDR
It is proved that testing satisfiability for {∩, +, ×}- circuits already is undecidable, and that in several cases, satisfiability problems are harder than membership problems. Expand
Satisfiability of algebraic circuits over sets of natural numbers
TLDR
This work proves that testing satisfiability for {@?,+,x}-circuits is already undecidable, and shows that satisfiability problems capture a wide range of complexity classes such as NL, P, NP, PSPACE, and beyond. Expand
Constraint Satisfaction Problem Dichotomy for Finite Templates: a Proof Via Consistency Checks
TLDR
This article presents a proof of the Dichotomy Conjecture via local consistency and AF- consistency checks and shows that, for every Taylor domain, the original instance of the CSP is solvable if, and only if, the problem has a solution in one of those subinstances. Expand

The complexity of satisfiability problems
