Recently spectacular improvements in the performance of SAT solvers have been achieved through nogood recording (clause learning). In the CSP literature, on the other hand, nogood ...
A conflict clause represents a backtracking solver’s analysis of why a conflict occurred. This analysis can be used to further prune the search space and to direct the search h...
Solvers for Quantified Boolean Formulae (QBF) use many analogues of technique from SAT. A significant amount of work has gone into extending conflict based techniques such as co...
Local search techniques have attracted considerable interest in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community since the development of GSAT [9] and the min-conflicts heuristic [5] ...

Exponential algorithms, i.e. algorithms of complexity O(cn ) for some c > 1, seem to be unavoidable in the case of NP-complete problems (unless P=NP), especially if the problem ...
