Solving the Incremental Satis ability Problem

Given a set of clauses in propositional logic that have been found satissable, we wish to check whether satissability is preserved when the clause set is incremented with a new clause. We describe an eecient implementation of the Davis-Putnam-Loveland algorithm for checking satissability of the original set. We then show how to modify the algorithm for eecient solution of the incremental proble...

The effect of peer collaboration on children's problem-solving ability.

BACKGROUND A Vygotskian framework links cognitive change to collaborative interaction with a more competent partner whereas a Piagetian perspective supports the view that cognitive conflict arising from peer interaction leads to cognitive change. AIMS The study investigated the effect of collaborative learning on children's problem-solving ability and whether differences in knowledge status o...

Some Comments on the Stochastic Eulerian Tour Problem

The Stochastic Eulerian Tour Problem was introduced in 2008 [1] as a stochastic variant of the well-known Eulerian Tour Problem. In a follow-up paper the same authors investigated some heuristics for solving the Stochastic Eulerian Tour Problem [2]. After a thorough study of these two publications a few issues emerged. In this short research commentary we would like to discuss these issues. For...
