Applying GSAT to Non-Clausal Formulas

نویسنده

چکیده

In this paper we describe how to modify GSAT so that it can be applied to non-clausal formulas. The idea is to use a particular \score" function which gives the number of clauses of the CNF conversion of a formula which are false under a given truth assignment. Its value is computed in linear time, without constructing the CNF conversion itself. The proposed methodology applies to most of the variants of GSAT proposed so far.

GSAT with Adaptive Score Function

Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract GSAT is a well-known satisfiability search algorithm. In this paper we consider a modification of GSAT. In particular, we consider an adaptive score function. Investigation of efficient satisfiability algorithms and encoding d...

Satisfiability Checking of Non-clausal Formulas Using General Matings

Most state-of-the-art SAT solvers are based on DPLL search and require the input formula to be in clausal form (cnf). However, typical formulas that arise in practice are non-clausal. We present a new non-clausal SAT-solver based on General Matings instead of DPLL search. Our technique is able to handle non-clausal formulas involving ∧,∨,¬ operators without destroying their structure or introdu...

TR - 2003 - 09 The HORN - NNF - SAT problem is linear

Many applications in Computer Science require to represent knowledge and reason with non-clausal form formulas. However, most of the advances obtained in tractable reasoning are applied only to CNF formulas. In this paper, we extend tractability (even linearity) to certain non-clausal formulas which are of high practical interest. For instance, the real applications of the Knowledge Rule-based ...

Partial instantiation theorem proving for distributed resource location

In this paper, we present a partial instantiation theorem prover (INSTANT) which handles sentences in first-order logic in clausal or non-clausal form. INSTANT uses a variant of the GSAT algorithm for determining the satisfiability of a propositional sentence to increase its speed. The algorithm used in INSTANT can be parallelized with good speedup to improve performance. INSTANT is designed fo...

Generation of Hard Non-Clausal Random Satisfiability Problems

We present the results from experiments with a new family of random formulas for the satisfiability problem. Our proposal is a generalisation of the random k-SAT model that introduces non-clausal formulas and exhibits interesting features such as experimentally observed sharp phase transition and the easy-hard-easy pattern. The experimental results provide some insights on how the use of differ...
