Surprisingly, general search heuristics often solve combinatorial problems quite sufficiently, although they do not outperform specialized algorithms. Here, the behavior of simple...
In this paper we analyze three well-known preprocessors for Max-SAT. The first preprocessor is based on the so-called variable saturation. The second preprocessor is based on the ...
Abstract. In 1965 Motzkin and Straus established a remarkable connection between the local/global maximizers of the Lagrangian of a graph G over the standard simplex ∆ and the ma...
This paper describes a general scheme to convert sequential ant-based algorithms into parallel shared memory algorithms. The scheme is applied to an ant-based algorithm for the ma...

Maximum satisfiability (Max-SAT) is more general and more difficult to solve than satisfiability (SAT). In this paper, we first investigate the effectiveness of Walksat, one of th...
