On 2-SAT and Renamable Horn
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce new linear time algorithms for satisfiability of binary propositional theories (2-SAT), and for recognition and satisfiability of renamable Horn theories. The algorithms are based on unit resolution, and are thus likely easier to integrate within general SAT solvers than other graph-based algorithms.

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...
متن کاملHorn renamability and hypergraphs
The satisfiability problem, SAT, consisting of testing the satisfiability of a propositional formula, is known to be NP-complete. On the other hand, several subclasses of propositional formulae are known, so that the restriction of SAT to such a subclass is solvable in polynomial time [7, 2] — among them Horn formulae [5] and formulae that are reducible toHorn, such as Horn-renamable formulae [...
متن کاملA Branching Heuristics for Quantified Renamable Horn Formulas
Many solvers have been designed for QBFs, the validity problem for Quantified Boolean Formulas for the past few years. In this paper, we describe a new branching heuristics whose purpose is to promote renamable Horn formulas. This heuristics is based on Hébrard’s algorithm for the recognition of such formulas. We present some experimental results obtained by our qbf solver Qbfl with the new bra...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Propositional KB Approximation
One of the obstacles to the effective compilation of propositional knowledge bases (KBs) using Horn approximations, as introduced by (Selman & Kautz 1991), is the lack of computationally feasible methods for generating Horn bounds. In this paper new algorithms for generating Horn Greatest Lower Bounds (GLB) that can apply to large size KBs, are presented. The approach is extended through a more...
متن کاملMaximum Renamable Horn sub-CNFs
The NP-hard problem of finding the largest renamable Horn sub-CNF of a given CNF is considered, and a polynomial time approximation algorithm is presented for this problem. It is shown that for cubic CNFs this algorithm has a guaranteed performance ratio of 40 67 .
