Lower bound for the Complexity of the Boolean Satisfiability Problem (1602.06867v4)

Abstract: This paper depicts algorithms for solving the decision Boolean Satisfiability Problem. An extreme problem is formulated to analyze the complexity of algorithms and the complexity for solving it. A novel and easy reformulation as a lottery for an extreme case is presented to determine a stable complexity around $2^n$. The reformulation point out that the decision Boolean Satisfiability Problem can only be solved in exponential time. This implies there is not an efficient algorithm for the NP Class.
