TL;DR

It is shown that adding conditional autarkies (as set-blocked clauses) on top of resolution allows efficient refutations of a number of natural combinatorial principles that may occur in SAT benchmarks.

CaDiCaL 3.0

This system description reports on how Kissat’s award-winning techniques were adapted to the full-featured incremental SAT solver CaDiCaL, including clausal congruence closure, clausal equivalence sweeping, and bounded variable addition, to support efficient linear proof production with hints.

The Satisfiability Problem

This book explains how algorithms work, for example, by exploiting the structure of the SAT problem with an appropriate logical calculus, like resolution, but also algorithms based on “physical” principles are considered.

Factoring Learned Clauses

This paper revisits previous work on ER, which factors out repeated parts of learned clauses during conflict analysis, and explores how their original strategy benefits from 15 years of improvements in the state-of-the-art solver CaDiCaL, and proposes a new, less intrusive inprocessing approach based on factoring XOR a...

Proving Total Correctness of Top-Down Solvers with Widening and Narrowing

The top-down solver TD is a generic fixpoint algorithm that can be used to compute partial post-solutions of equation systems for abstract interpretation. We consider two extensions of the TD to deal with infinite strictly ascending chains. For the TD extended with warrowing, we formally prove that it always returns pa...

A light-weight proof checker for TSTP refutations

A proof checker called Nörgler is introduced that builds upon and extends the established approach pioneered by GDV and supports checking propositional, (untyped and typed) first-order, and higher-order refutations represented in TSTP.

SAT in Saturation: A Satisfied Match

A tailored integration of SAT solving for detecting variants of subsumption in superposition using the Vampire prover and showing that SAT encodings improve literal matching, and thus subsumption, in first-order theorem proving is presented.
