The factor graphs of CNF formulas with regular structures have some well properties and known results in theory of graph, which may be applied to investigating satisfiability and its complexity of formulas. The minimal unsatisfiable formulas have a critical characterization, which the formula itself is unsatisfiable and the resulting formula moving anyone clause from the original formula is satisfiable. We present a polynomial reduction from a 3-CNF formula to a (3,4)-CNF formula with regular structure, which each clause contains exactly three literals, and each variable appear exactly four times. Therefore, (3,4)-SAT is a regular NP-complete problem. We focus on investigating satisfiability and properties of (3,4)-CNF formulas, such as inapproximability of MAX (3,4)-SAT. Keywords: reduction, minimal unsatisfiability formula, (3,4)-CNF formula, regular structure, NP-completeness. 1 Introduction Letbe the class of propositional formulas in conjunctive normal form. Aformulais a conjunction of clauses,. The setis the set of variables occurring in the formula. Denote as the number of clauses of F andas the number of variables occurring in. The deficiency of a formula F is defined as, denoted by.is the class offormulas with variables andclauses. A formulais minimal unsatisfiable () ifis unsatisfiable andis satisfiable for any claus
