Abstract

We present a randomized DNA algorithm for k-SAT based on the classical algorithm of Paturi et al. [8]. For an n-variable, m-clause instance of k-SAT (m > n), our algorithm finds a satisfying assignment, assuming one exists, with probability 1−e−α, in worst-case time O(k2mn) and space (Formula Presented). This makes it the most space-eficient DNA k-SAT algorithm for k > 3 and k < n=log α (i.e. the clause size is small compared to the number of variables). In addition, our algorithm is the first DNA algorithm to adapt techniques from the field of randomized classical algorithms.
