We consider several problems related to the use of resolution-based methods for determining whether a given boolean formula in conjunctive normal form is satisfiable. First, build...

Maximum Boolean satisfiability (max-SAT) is the optimization counterpart of Boolean satisfiability (SAT), in which a variable assignment is sought to satisfy the maximum number of...
State-of-the-art verification tools are based on efficient operations on Boolean formulas. Traditional manipulation techniques are based on Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) and SAT...
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in Quantified Boolean Formula (QBF) evaluation, since several VLSI CAD problems can be formulated efficiently as QBF insta...
The paper compares two popular strategies for solving propositional satis ability, backtracking search and resolution, and analyzes the complexity of a directional resolution algo...
