When you say "clause", do you mean a disjunction of literals in propositional logic? Because if so, I don't understand what you mean. Clauses don't have inputs. And when you say "resolve away", do you mean applying the…
I would like to respectfully disagree. I think you're simplifying the reason too much. I don't think it's the Ch function itself (and the rest of the compression function) that causes problems for the SAT solver. I…
It is true in an absolute, mathematical sense that the search space gets smaller when you fix a variable to a particular value. However, by fixing a variable (and effectively removing it), you are also removing…
I guess you are referring to this part: "A very intriguing, and perhaps unintuitive property of the algorithm proposed is that with increasing bitcoin difficulty, or equally lower target, the search could become more…
