49. In principle, a scaling (Formula presented) can also be plugged in. This would be analogous to infinite-connectivity spin-glass models in the zero-temperature limit, and was also considered in the variational approach 7 to 3 satisfiability. However, its inclusion in the presented formulation leads however to saddle-point equations which could not be solved by the authors.
