This paper explores the relationship between depth-3 circuit lower bounds and k-SAT algorithms, proposing a new problem ENUM(k, t) to reveal interactions between the two. The authors introduce a randomized algorithm for ENUM(k, t) and demonstrate its power by considering ENUM(3, n^2). By restricting to monotone CNFs, the problem becomes a hypergraph Turán problem. The analysis leads to improved circuit lower bounds and k-SAT algorithms.
The content discusses local search as a fundamental paradigm in solving the satisfiability problem. It delves into the connection between lower bounds and algorithms in the context of depth-3 circuits. The paper introduces a novel approach to analyzing enumeration problems for CNFs with bounded negations.
