One of the important components of a local search strategy for satisfiability testing is the variable selection heuristic, which determines the next variable to be flipped. In a...
A novel native stochastic local search algorithm for solving k-term DNF problems is presented. It is evaluated on hard k-term DNF problems that lie on the phase transition and com...
In this paper, we show how Guided Local Search (GLS) can be applied to the SAT problem and show how the resulting algorithm can be naturally extended to solve the weighted MAX-SAT ...
Local search-based methods of SAT solving have received a significant attention in the last decade. All local search-based methods choose the next truth assignment by flipping t...
Many real-world problems are over-constrained and require search techniques adapted to optimising cost functions rather than searching for consistency. This makes the MAX-SAT probl...
