Cardinality Networks and Their Applications
We introduce Cardinality Networks, a new CNF encoding of cardinality constraints. It improves upon the previously existing encodings such as the sorting networks of [ES06] in that ...

Clause-Learning Algorithms with Many Restarts and Bounded-Width Resolution
Abstract. We offer a new understanding of some aspects of practical SAT-solvers that are based on DPLL with unit-clause propagation, clause-learning, and restarts. On the theoreti...

Does Advice Help to Prove Propositional Tautologies?
One of the starting points of propositional proof complexity is the seminal paper by Cook and Reckhow [6], where they defined propositional proof systems as poly-time computable f...

The Complexity of Reasoning for Fragments of Default Logic
Default logic was introduced by Reiter in 1980. In 1992, Gottlob classified the complexity of the extension existence problem for propositional default logic as Σp 2-complete, an...

A Compact Representation for Syntactic Dependencies in QBFs
Different quantifier types in Quantified Boolean Formulae (QBF) introduce variable dependencies which have to be taken into consideration when deciding satisfiability of a QBF....

On-the-Fly Clause Improvement
Most current propositional SAT solvers apply resolution at various stages to derive new clauses or simplify existing ones. The former happens during conflict analysis, while the l...

Sequential Encodings from Max-CSP into Partial Max-SAT
Abstract. We define new encodings from Max-CSP into Partial MaxSAT which are obtained by modelling the at-most-one condition with the sequential SAT encoding of the cardinality co...
