Abstract. The adaptive noise mechanism was introduced in Novelty+ to automatically adapt noise settings during the search [4]. The local search algorithm G2 WSAT deterministically ...
This paper presents a detailed empirical study of local search for Boolean satisfiability (SAT), highlighting several interesting properties, some of which were previously unknown...
In this paper we describe a stochastic local search (SLS) procedure for finding models of satisfiable propositional formulae. This new algorithm, gNovelty+ , draws on the features...

We study leading-edge local search heuristics for balanced hypergraph partitioning and Boolean satisfiability, intending the generalization of such heuristics beyond their origina...
We propose a new switching criterion, namely the evenness or unevenness of the distribution of variable weights, and use this criterion to combine intensification and diversificat...
