Measuring the Hardness of SAT Instances
The search of a precise measure of what hardness of SAT instances means for state-of-the-art solvers is a relevant research question. Among others, the space complexity of treelik...

Reducing hard SAT instances to polynomial ones
This last decade, propositional reasoning and search has been one of the hottest topics of research in the A.I. community, as the Boolean framework has been recognized as a powerf...

If NP Languages are Hard on the Worst-Case Then It is Easy to Find Their Hard Instances
We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...

Using Randomization and Learning to Solve Hard Real-World Instances of Satisfiability
This paper addresses the interaction between randomization, with restart strategies, and learning, an often crucial technique for proving unsatisfiability. We use instances of SAT ...
