The paper compares two popular strategies for solving propositional satis ability, backtracking search and resolution, and analyzes the complexity of a directional resolution algo...
Algorithms based on following local gradient information are surprisingly effective for certain classes of constraint satisfaction problems. Unfortunately, previous local search a...
Recently several local hill-climbing procedures for propositional satisability have been proposed, which are able to solve large and di cult problems beyond the reach of conventio...
MAX-SAT, the optimisation variant of the satisfiability problem in propositional logic, is an important and widely studied combinatorial optimisation problem with applications in ...
This paper describes a hybrid approach to solving large-scale constraint satisfaction and optimization problems. It describes a hybrid algorithm for integer linear programming whic...
