Overview
Generally, local search heuristics are not guaranteed to run in polynomial time. The randomized local search algorithm for the 2SAT problem is one of the rare cases when we can prove it is guaranteed to converge with the correct answer quickly.
Algorithm
Repeat log2n times:
Choose random initial assignment
Repeat 2n2 times:
If current assignment satisfies all clauses, halt and report.
Else pick arbitrary unsatisfied clause and flip the value of one of its variables # choose between the tow uniformly at random.
Report "unsatisfiable".
Running Time
Runs in polynomial time.
