Structural Relaxations by Variable Renaming and Their Compilation for Solving MinCostSAT
Searching for optimal solutions to a problem using lower bounds obtained from a relaxation is a common idea in Heuristic Search and Planning. In SAT and CSPs, however, explicit rel...

: The Design and Analysis of an Algorithm Portfolio for SAT
It has been widely observed that there is no “dominant” SAT solver; instead, different solvers perform best on different instances. Rather than following the traditional appr...

Advisors for Incremental Propagation
Abstract. While incremental propagation for global constraints is recognized to be important, little research has been devoted to how propagator-centered constraint programming sys...

A Case for Simple SAT Solvers
As SAT becomes more popular due to its ability to handle large real-world problems, progress in efficiency appears to have slowed down over the past few years. On the other hand, w...

GAC Via Unit Propagation
In this paper we argue that an attractive and potentially very general way of achieving generalized arc consistency (GAC) on a constraint is by using unit propagation (UP) over a C...

Limitations of Restricted Branching in Clause Learning
The techniques for making decisions, i.e., branching, play a central role in complete methods for solving structured CSP instances. In practice, there are cases when SAT solvers be...

Solving the Salinity Control Problem in a Potable Water System
Salinity is the relative concentration of salts in water. In a city of southern China, the local water supply company pumps water from a nearby river for potable use. During the wi...

An Integrated White+Black Box Approach for Designing and Tuning Stochastic Local Search
Abstract. Stochastic Local Search (SLS) is a simple and effective paradigm for attacking a variety of Combinatorial (Optimization) Problems (COP). However, it is often non-trivial...

Breaking Value Symmetry
Symmetry is an important factor in solving many constraint satisfaction problems. One common type of symmetry is when we have symmetric values. We can eliminate such value symmetr...
