Gopalan et al. studied in [P. Gopalan, P.G. Kolaitis, E.N. Maneva, C.H. Papadimitriou, The connectivity of Boolean satisfiability: computational and structural dichotomies, in: Proceedings of the 33rd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, ICALP 2006, 2006, pp. 346–357] and [P. Gopalan, P.G. Kolaitis, E.N. Maneva, C.H. Papadimitriou, The connectivity of Boolean satisfiability: computational and structural dichotomies, SIAM J. Comput. 38 (6) (2009) 2330–2355] connectivity properties of the solution-space of Boolean formulas, and investigated complexity issues on the connectivity problems in Schaefer’s framework. A set S of logical relations is Schaefer if all relations in S are either bijunctive, Horn, dual Horn, or affine. They first conjectured that the connectivity problem for Schaefer is in P. We disprove their conjecture by showing that there exists a set S of Horn relations such that the connectivity problem for S is coNP-complete. We also investigate a tractable aspect of Horn and dual Horn relations with respect to characteristic sets.
