Counting solutions of Monotone-2CNF formulas A Monotone-2CNF formula is a CNF formula where each clause is composed by exactly 2 positive literals.

Now, I have a Monotone-2CNF formula $F$. Let $S$ be the set of $F$'s satisfying assignments. I also have an oracle $O$ which is able to give the following information:


The cardinality of the set $S$ (i.e. the number of solutions of $F$).

Given a variable $x$:

The number of solutions in $S$ containing the positive literal $x$.
The number of solutions in $S$ containing the negative literal $\lnot x$.



Given 2 variables $x_1$ and $x_2$:

The number of solutions in $S$ containing $x_1 \land x_2$.
The number of solutions in $S$ containing $x_1 \land \lnot x_2$.
The number of solutions in $S$ containing $\lnot x_1 \land x_2$.
The number of solutions in $S$ containing $\lnot x_1 \land \lnot x_2$.




Note that the oracle $O$ is "limited": it works only on $F$, it can't be used on a formula $F' \neq F$. 


  Question:
  
  Given 3 variables $x_1$, $x_2$, $x_3$
  is it possible to determine the number
  of solutions in $S$ containing $\lnot
  x_1 \land \lnot x_2 \land \lnot x_3$ in
  polynomial time, using $F$ and
  the information provided by $O$?
  
  Note:
  
  You can replace $\lnot
  x_1 \land \lnot x_2 \land \lnot x_3$ in the
  question with whatever else of the 8 possible
  combinations of $x_1$, $x_2$, $x_3$. The problem
  would remain the same.





  Empirical fact:
  
  I came across the following empirical fact one
  week ago. Let $S_{\lnot x_1 \land \lnot x_2} \subset S$
  be the set of those solutions containing $\lnot x_1 \land \lnot x_2$,
  and let $S_{\lnot x_1 \land \lnot x_2 \land x_3} \subset S$ be the set
  of those solutions containing $\lnot x_1 \land \lnot x_2 \land x_3$. Now, it
  seems to be the case that, if condition $C$ holds, this relationship also holds:
  $\frac{|S_{\lnot x_1 \land \lnot x_2}|}{|S_{\lnot x_1 \land \lnot x_2 \land x_3}|} \simeq \phi$
  where $\phi = 1.618033...$ is the golden ratio. Condition $C$ seems to be the following: "$x_1$, $x_2$, $x_3$ are mentioned in $F$ almost the same number of times".
Some observations, not an answer.

Further to the note to the question, any combination of 3 literals can be expressed in terms of any other combination of literals on the same variables, together with a small number of terms that the oracle can provide.  This follows from looking at the Venn diagram of 3 intersecting sets, and expressing each of the 8 regions in terms of the other regions.  Note that this does not require the formula to be either monotone or 2CNF.

It is also clear that the number of solutions satisfying any 3-literal conjunct can be expressed as the sum of $2^{n-3}$ terms, each of which is either 0 or 1, expressing a particular assignment to all variables.  Each of these can be evaluated in linear time, but there are exponentially many terms to evaluate, so this doesn't satisfy the requirements.

Hence the question is really about whether it is possible to exploit the property of being monotone 2CNF to compress this exponential-size expression to polynomial size.

I tried to look at a simpler question, restricting the oracle to just an advice string with the number of solutions, when the counts for single or pairwise literal combinations are not available.  I cannot see any way to exploit knowledge of the number of solutions to obtain a quick calculation of the number of solutions with respect to any single literal.

Is there something about monotone 2CNF that would allow the number of solutions in $S$ containing $x_1$ to be obtained quickly, if one knew $|S|$?
