"textContent": "**Authors:** P. Horak, I. Semaev\n\nLet n denote the number of variables and m the number of equations in a sparse polynomial system over the binary field. We study the inconsistency probability of randomly generated sparse polynomial systems over the binary field, where each equation depends on at most k variables and the number of variables grows. Associating the system with a hypergraph, we show that the inconsistency probability depends strongly on structural properties of this hypergraph, not only on n,m, and k. Using inclusion--exclusion, we derive general bounds and obtain tight asymptotics for complete k-uniform hypergraphs. In the 2-sparse case, we provide explicit formulas for paths and stars, characterize extremal trees and forests, and conjecture a formula for cycles. These results have implications for SAT solving and cryptanalysis.",
