Directional Resolution: The Davis-Putnam Procedure, Revisited
The paper presents algorithm directional resolution, a variation on the original DavisPutnam algorithm, and analyzes its worstcase behavior as a function of the topological structure of the theories. The notions of induced width and diversity are shown to play a key role in bounding the complexity of the procedure. The importance of our analysis lies in highlighting structure-based tractable cl...
متن کاملIntegrating Equivalency Reasoning into Davis-Putnam Procedure
Equivalency clauses (Xors or modulo 2 arithmetics) represent a common structure in the SAT-encoding of many hard real-world problems and constitute a major obstacle to DavisPutnam (DP) procedure. We propose a special look-ahead technique called equivalency reasoning to overcome the obstacle and report on the performance of an equivalency reasoning enhanced DP procedure on SAT instances containi...
متن کاملOrdered Binary Decision Diagrams and the Davis-Putnam Procedure
We compare two prominent decision procedures for propositional logic: Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (obdds) and the Davis-Putnam procedure. Experimental results indicate that the Davis-Putnam procedure outperforms obdds in hard constraint-satisfaction problems, while obdds are clearly superior for Boolean functional equivalence problems from the circuit domain, and, in general, problems that...
متن کاملDynamic Variable Filtering for Hard Random 3-SAT Problems
The DPL (Davis-Putnam-Logemann-Loveland) procedure is one of the most effective methods for solving SAT problems. It is well known that its efficiency depends on the choice of the branching rule. One of the main improvements of this decision procedure has been the development of better branching variable selection through the use of unit propagation look-ahead (UPLA) heuristics (e.g., [13]). UP...
متن کاملOn the Advantage of a Non-Clausal Davis-Putnam Procedure
We propose a non-clausal decision procedure for classical propositional logic. It is a generalization of the Davis-Putnam procedure and deals with formulae which are not necessarily in clausal form. Since there is no need to translate the investigated formula into normal form, we avoid increasing its size but preserve its structure. This will in general lead to a much smaller search space and t...
