With random inputs, certain decision problems undergo a “phase transition”. We prove similar behavior in an optimization context. Given a conjunctive normal form (CNF) formula...

Many decision and optimization problems in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) can be solved with Boolean Satisfiability (SAT). Moreover, well-known extensions of SAT also find app...
We define a translation from Weighted CSP to signed Max-SAT, and a complete resolution-style calculus for solving signed Max-SAT. Based on these results, we then describe an orig...
Abstract. In this paper, we study the behaviour of the Scaling and Probabilistic Smoothing (SAPS) dynamic local search algorithm on the unweighted MAXSAT problem. MAX-SAT is a conc...
Abstract. We present a new generic problem solving approach for overconstrained problems based on Max-SAT. We first define a clausal form formalism that deals with blocks of clau...
