We study the parameterized complexity of detecting backdoor sets for instances of the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT) with respect to the polynomially solvable classes ...
Abstract. Many problems are naturally expressed using CNF clauses and boolean cardinality constraints. It is generally believed that solving such problems through pure CNF encoding...
Abstract. This paper discusses an NP-complete constraint satisfaction problem which appears to share many of the threshold characteristics of SAT but is similar to XOR-SAT and so i...
Abstract. In this paper we define a class of truth-value assignments, called bounded assignments, using a certain substitutional property. We show that every satisfiable Boolean ...
The problem of solving boolean combinations of difference constraints is at the core of many important techniques such as planning, scheduling, and model-checking of real-time syst...
