Abstract. Work by Kilby, Slaney, Thiebaux and Walsh [1] showed that the backdoors and backbones of unstructured Random 3SAT instances are largely disjoint. In this work we extend t...
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...
Minimizing learned clauses is an effective technique to reduce memory usage and also speed up solving time. It has been implemented in MINISAT since 2005 and is now adopted by mos...
We present a novel expansion based decision procedure for quantified boolean formulas (QBF) in conjunctive normal form (CNF). The basic idea is to resolve existentially quantifie...
We present a new branch and bound algorithm for Max-SAT which incorporates original lazy data structures, a new variable selection heuristics and a lower bound of better quality. W...
