Clone: Solving Weighted Max-SAT in a Reduced Search Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a new branch-and-bound Max-SAT solver, Clone, which employs a novel approach for computing lower bounds. This approach allows Clone to search in a reduced space. Moreover, Clone is equipped with novel techniques for learning from soft conflicts. Experimental results show that Clone performs competitively with the leading Max-SAT solver in the broadest category of this year’s Max-SAT evaluation and outperforms last year’s leading solvers.

Solving Weighted Max-SAT Problems in a Reduced Search Space: A Performance Analysis
We analyze, in this work, the performance of a recently introduced weighted Max-SAT solver, Clone, in the Max-SAT evaluation 2007. Clone utilizes a novel bound computation based on formula compilation that allows it to search in a reduced search space. We study how additional techniques from the SAT and Max-SAT literature affect the performance of Clone on problems from the evaluation. We then ...

متن کاملBackbone Guided Local Search for the Weighted Maximum Satisfiability Problem
The Satisfiability problem (SAT) is a famous NP-Complete problem, which consists of an assignment of Boolean variables (true or false) and some clauses formed of these variables. A clause is a disjunction of some Boolean literals and can be true if and only if any of them is true. A SAT instance is satisfied if and only if all the clauses are simultaneously true. As a generalization of SAT, the...
