Abstract

Problems of the maximum and the minimum satisfiability on the basis of the integer linear programming and L-partition are studied. The L-structure of polyhedrons of the problems is investigated. Families are set up of unweighted problems of the maximum and the minimum satisfiability, the powers of L-coverings of which grow exponentially with an increase in the number of variables in a formula.
