In this paper we investigate the use of preprocessing when solving Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF). Many different problems can be efficiently encoded as QBF instances, and there...
— Many CAD for VLSI problems can be naturally encoded as Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBFs) and solved with QBF solvers. Furthermore, such problems often contain circuitbased in...

From an empirical point of view, the hardness of quantified Boolean formulas (QBFs), can be characterized by the (in)ability of current state-of-the-art QBF solvers to decide abo...
Failed literal detection (FL) in SAT is a powerful approach for preprocessing. The basic idea is to assign a variable as assumption. If boolean constraint propagation (BCP) yields ...
In this paper we present a solver for Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBFs) which is based on And-Inverter Graphs (AIGs). We use a new quantifier elimination method for AIGs, which...
