Perfect Constraints Are Tractable
By using recent results from graph theory, including the Strong Perfect Graph Theorem, we obtain a unifying framework for a number of tractable classes of constraint problems. Thes...

Experimenting with Small Changes in Conflict-Driven Clause Learning Algorithms
Experimentation of new algorithms is the usual companion section of papers dealing with SAT. However, the behavior of those algorithms is so unpredictable that even strong experime...
