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...
Abstract. Many problems are naturally expressed using CNF clauses and boolean cardinality constraints. It is generally believed that solving such problems through pure CNF encoding...
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...
We present a simple probabilistic algorithm for solving kSAT, and more generally, for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). The algorithm follows a simple localsearch pa...
Proofs of termination in term rewriting involve solving constraints between terms coming from (parts of) the rules of the term rewriting system. A common way to deal with such con...
