چکیده

Minimizing learned clauses is an effective technique to reduce memory usage and also speed up solving time. It has been implemented in MINISAT since 2005 and is now adopted by most modern SAT solvers in academia, even though it has not been described in the literature properly yet. With this paper we intend to close this gap and also provide a thorough experimental analysis of it’s effectiveness for the first time.

Incorporating Cognitive Linguistic Insights into Classrooms: the Case of Iranian Learners’ Acquisition of If-Clauses

Cognitive linguistics gives the most inclusive, consistent description of how language is organized, used and learned to date. Cognitive linguistics contains a great number of concepts that are useful to second language learners.  If-clauses in English, on the other hand, remain intriguing for foreign language learners to struggle with, due to their intrinsic intricacies. EFL grammar books are ...

Towards Learned Clauses Database Reduction Strategies Based on Dominance Relationship

Clause Learning is one of the most important components of a conflict driven clause learning (CDCL) SAT solver that is effective on industrial instances. Since the number of learned clauses is proved to be exponential in the worse case, it is necessary to identify the most relevant clauses to maintain and delete the irrelevant ones. As reported in the literature, several learned clauses deletio...

Clause Sharing in Parallel MaxSAT

In parallel MaxSAT solving, sharing learned clauses is expected to help to further prune the search space and boost the performance of a parallel solver. However, not all learned clauses should be shared since it could lead to an exponential blow up in memory and to sharing many irrelevant clauses. The main question is which learned clauses should be shared among the different threads. This pap...

A New Clause Learning Scheme for Efficient Unsatisfiability Proofs

We formalize in this paper a key property of asserting clauses (the most common type of clauses learned by SAT solvers). We show that the formalized property, which is called empowerment, is not exclusive to asserting clauses, and introduce a new class of learned clauses which can also be empowering. We show empirically that (1) the new class of clauses tends to be much shorter and induce furth...

Revisiting the Learned Clauses Database Reduction Strategies

In this paper, we revisit an important issue of CDCL-based SAT solvers, namely the learned clauses database management policies. Our motivation takes its source from a simple observation on the remarkable performances of both random and size-bounded reduction strategies. We first derive a simple reduction strategy, called Size-Bounded Randomized strategy (in short SBR), that combines maintaing ...
