Algebraic Simplification Techniques for Propositional Satisfiability
The ability to reduce either the number of variables or clauses in instances of the Satisfiability problem (SAT) impacts the expected computational effort of solving a given instan...

Expressiveness of Full First Order Constraints in the Algebra of Finite or Infinite Trees
We are interested in the expressiveness of constraints represented by general first order formulae, with equality as unique relation symbol and function symbols taken from an infi...

Using Randomization and Learning to Solve Hard Real-World Instances of Satisfiability
This paper addresses the interaction between randomization, with restart strategies, and learning, an often crucial technique for proving unsatisfiability. We use instances of SAT ...
