Refutation by Randomised General Resolution
Local search is widely applied to satisfiable SAT problems, and on some problem classes outperforms backtrack search. An intriguing challenge posed by Selman, Kautz and McAlleste...

Using Rewarding Mechanisms for Improving Branching Heuristics
The variable branching heuristics used in the most recent and most effective SAT solvers, including zChaff and BerkMin, can be viewed as consisting of a simple mechanism for rewa...

How Much Backtracking Does It Take to Color Random Graphs? Rigorous Results on Heavy Tails
Many backtracking algorithms exhibit heavy-tailed distributions, in which their running time is often much longer than their median. We analyze the behavior of two natural variant...
