On binary constraints defined by vanishing of bivariate polynomials modulo $n$ [duplicate]

In an answer here Dima Pasechnik showed that constraints of the form $x_i x_j + a_{ij}x_i + b_{ij}x_j + c_{ij}$ are efficiently solvable modulo $2$ using Groebner basis. In comments he suggested that ...

Lower bound on the number of solutions of 2SAT

To compute the number of solutions of a 2SAT is a hard problem. Is there some nontrivial lower or upper bound on this number in terms of a “coarse-grained” description of the Boolean formula, for ...

SAT and Arithmetic Geometry

This is an agglomeration of several questions, linked by a single observation: SAT is equivalent to determining the existence of roots for a system of polynomial equations over $\mathbb{F}_2$ (note ...

Counterexamples for this algorithm for recognizing lexicographic product of graphs?

Found a possible reduction from recognizing lexicographic product of graphs to 2SAT (since 2SAT is polynomial, the algorithm is polynomial). Can't prove completeness of the algorithm and since it is ...
