Locality and Hard SAT-Instances
نویسنده
چکیده
In this note we construct a family of SAT-instance based on Eulerian graphs which are aimed at being hard for resolution based SAT-solvers. We discuss some experiments made with instances of this type and how a solver can try to avoid at least some of the pitfalls presented by these instances. Finally we look at how the density of subformulae can influence the hardness of SAT instances.

Locality in Random SAT Instances
Despite the success of CDCL SAT solvers solving industrial problems, there are still many open questions to explain such success. In this context, the generation of random SAT instances having computational properties more similar to realworld problems becomes crucial. Such generators are possibly the best tool to analyze families of instances and solvers behaviors on them. In this paper, we pr...
متن کاملHard Instance Generation for Sat Title: Hard Instance Generation for Sat
We consider the problem of generating hard instances for the Satisfying Assignment Search Problem (in short, SAT). It is not known whether SAT is di cult on average, while it has been believed that the Factorization Problem (in short, FACT) is hard on average. Thus, one can expect to generate hard-on-average instances by using a reduction from FACT to SAT. Although the asymptotically best reduc...

متن کاملLearning Rate Based Branching Heuristic for SAT Solvers
In this paper, we propose a framework for viewing solver branching heuristics as optimization algorithms where the objective is to maximize the learning rate, defined as the propensity for variables to generate learnt clauses. By viewing online variable selection in SAT solvers as an optimization problem, we can leverage a wide variety of optimization algorithms, especially from machine learnin...
