Weighted stability number of graphs and weighted satisfiability: The two facets of pseudo-Boolean optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We exhibit links between pseudo-Boolean optimization, graph theory and logic. We show the equivalence of maximizing a pseudo-Boolean function and finding a maximum weight stable set; symmetrically minimizing a pseudo-Boolean function is shown to be equivalent to solving a weighted satisfiability problem.

Algorithms for Weighted Boolean Optimization
The Pseudo-Boolean Optimization (PBO) and Maximum Satisfiability (MaxSAT) problems are natural optimization extensions of Boolean Satisfiability (SAT). In the recent past, different algorithms have been proposed for PBO and for MaxSAT, despite the existence of straightforward mappings from PBO to MaxSAT and viceversa. This papers proposes Weighted Boolean Optimization (WBO), a new unified frame...
متن کاملA Verified Decision Procedure for Pseudo-Boolean Formulas
Pseudo-Boolean formulas consist of constraints of the form ∑i=1 wi · xi k, where xi are propositional literals, wi ∈ Z, k ∈ Z, and arise in planning, scheduling and optimization problems. We describe an efficient and easily verifiable decision procedure for pseudo-Boolean formulas, that is based on encoding PB formulas into the propositional satisfiability problem with the cutting-edge sequenti...
متن کاملPreference elicitation for interactive learning of Optimization Modulo Theory problems
We consider the problem of automatically discovering the solution preferred by a decision maker (DM). Recent work in the field of constraint programming [8] formalizes the user preferences in terms of soft constraints, whose weights are assumed to be partially unknown. An elicitation strategy is introduced based on the DM queries for constraint weights. In this paper, soft constraints are cast ...
متن کاملPackUp: Tools for Package Upgradability Solving
This paper presents PackUp (PACKage UPgradability with Boolean formulations) a framework for solving the the software package upgradability problem. Earlier versions of the framework (cudf2msu, cudf2pbo) participated in the 3rd MISC-live, an international competition organized by the European project MANCOOSI. The framework encodes the problem as a weighted partial MaxSAT formula and invokes a ...
متن کاملWeighted graphs defining facets: A connection between stable set and linear ordering polytopes
A graph is α-critical if its stability number increases whenever an edge is removed from its edge set. The class of α-critical graphs has several nice structural properties, most of them related to their defect which is the number of vertices minus two times the stability number. In particular, a remarkable result of Lovász (1978) is the finite basis theorem for α-critical graphs of a fixed def...
