On Probabilistic Generalization of Backdoors in Boolean Satisfiability

The paper proposes a probabilistic generalization of the well-known Strong Backdoor Set (SBS) concept applied to the Boolean Satisfiability Problem (SAT). We call a set of Boolean variables B a ρ-backdoor, if for a fraction of at least ρ of possible assignments of variables from B, assigning their v…
