چکیده

Regular signed SAT is a variant of the well-known satisfiability problem in which the variables can take values in a fixed set V ⊂ [0, 1], and the literals have the form “x ≤ a” or “x ≥ a” instead of “x” or “x̄”. We answer some open question regarding random regular signed k-SAT formulas: The probability that a random formula is satisfiable increases with |V |; there is a constant upper bound on the ratio m/n of clauses m over variables n, beyond which a random formula is asypmtotically almost never satisfied; for k = 2 and V = [0, 1], there is a phase transition at m/n = 2.

The 2-SAT Problem of Regular Signed CNF Formulas

Signed conjunctive normal form (signed CNF) is a classical conjunctive clause form using a generalized notion of literal, called signed atom. A signed atom is an expression of the form S : p, where p is a classical atom and S, its sign, is a subset of a domain N . The informal meaning is “p takes one of the values in S”. Applications for deduction in signed logics derive from those of annotated...

A Modular Reduction of Regular Logic to Classical Logic

In this paper we first define a reduction Æ that transforms an instance of Regular-SAT into a satisfiability equivalent instance Æ of SAT. The reduction Æ has interesting properties: (i) the size of Æ is linear in the size of , (ii) Æ transforms regular Horn formulas into Horn formulas, and (iii) Æ transforms regular 2-CNF formulas into 2-CNF formulas. Second, we describe a new satisfiability t...

Further Investigations into Regular XORSAT

Recent years have witnessed rapid progress both in the foundations of and in applying state-of-art solvers for the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT). The study of sources for hard SAT instances is motivated by the need for interesting benchmarks for solver development and on the other hand by theoretical analysis of different proof systems. In this respect satisfiable instance families...

Capturing Structure with Satisfiability

We present Regular-SAT, an extension of Boolean Satisfiability based on a class of many-valued CNF formulas. Regular-SAT shares many properties with Boolean SAT, which allows us to generalize some of the best known SAT results and apply them to Regular-SAT. In addition, Regular-SAT has a number of advantages over Boolean SAT. Most importantly, it produces more compact encodings that capture pro...

Generation of Hard Non-Clausal Random Satisfiability Problems

We present the results from experiments with a new family of random formulas for the satisfiability problem. Our proposal is a generalisation of the random k-SAT model that introduces non-clausal formulas and exhibits interesting features such as experimentally observed sharp phase transition and the easy-hard-easy pattern. The experimental results provide some insights on how the use of differ...
