Linear Pseudo-Boolean constraints offer a much more compact formalism to express significant boolean problems in several areas, ranging from Artificial Intelligence to Electroni...
Abstract. Recently Schuler [17] presented a randomized algorithm that solves SAT in expected time at most 2n(1−1/ log2(2m)) up to a polynomial factor, where n and m are, respecti...
We propose and study a technique to improve the performance of those local-search SAT solvers that proceed by executing a prespecified number of tries, each starting with an eleme...
Abstract. This paper discusses an NP-complete constraint satisfaction problem which appears to share many of the threshold characteristics of SAT but is similar to XOR-SAT and so i...
The variable branching heuristics used in the most recent and most effective SAT solvers, including zChaff and BerkMin, can be viewed as consisting of a simple mechanism for rewa...
The Boolean circuits is well established as a data structure for building propositional encodings of problems in preparation for satisfiability solving. The standard method for co...
We present a novel expansion based decision procedure for quantified boolean formulas (QBF) in conjunctive normal form (CNF). The basic idea is to resolve existentially quantifie...
The finite model generation problem in the first-order logic is a generalization of the propositional satisfiability (SAT) problem. An essential algorithm for solving the proble...
Abstract. For the third consecutive year, a SAT competition was organized as a joint event with the SAT conference. With 55 solvers from 25 author groups, the competition was a cle...
This paper reports about the 2004 comparative evaluation of solvers for quantified Boolean formulas (QBFs), the second in a series of non-competitive events established with the a...
