Increasing the Success Probability of PPSZ-type Satisfiability Testing
Kazuo Iwama, Suguru Tamaki (Kyoto Univ.)
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Recently, [Iwama, Tamaki, SODA04] gave a new worst-case upper bound
for 3SAT by modifying the PPSZ-type algorithm in
[Paturi et. al., FOCS98] by making use of the local-search-type
one in [Schoning, Algorithmica 02].
We propose a different kind of modification in this paper.
Recall that the analysis of the first algorithm (denoted by \textbf{PPSZ})
assumes that each bit of the
initial assignment coincides that of a satisfying assignment with
probability one half.
Our idea is that if we can increase this probability, i.e., if we can
use a ``better'' initial assignment, then the success probability of
\textbf{PPSZ} should increase.
To get this better assignment we use the second algorithm (denoted by
\textbf{SCH}).
Note that the local search starts with a random assignment and
gradually approaches to a satisfying assignment $z$.
In the middle of this process, there should be the moment that
the current assignment $a^*$ is close to $z$ and to use
\textbf{PPSZ} with this assignment $a^*$ has a better success
probability than to continue \textbf{SCH}.
In this paper we prove that this conjecture is true under some
assumption on the uniformity of probability.
