Using information from failures to guide subsequent search is an important technique for solving combinatorial problems in domains such as boolean satisfiability (SAT) and constr...
We propose a new switching criterion, namely the evenness or unevenness of the distribution of variable weights, and use this criterion to combine intensification and diversificat...
In this paper we describe a stochastic local search (SLS) procedure for finding satisfying models of satisfiable propositional formulae. This new algorithm, gNovelty+ , draws on th...

: A local search algorithm operating on an instance of a Boolean constraint satisfaction problem (in particular, k-SAT) can be viewed as a stochastic process traversing successive ...
