Hybrid Branching

چکیده
State-of-the-art solvers for Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP), Mixed Integer Programs (MIP), and satisfiability problems (SAT) are usually based on a branch-and-bound algorithm. The question how to split a problem into subproblems (branching) is in the core of any branch-and-bound algorithm. Branching on individual variables is very common in CSP, MIP, and SAT. The rules, however, which variable to choose for branching, differ significantly. In this paper, we present hybrid branching, which combines selection rules from all three fields.

Boost SAT Solver with Hybrid Branching Heuristic
Most state-of-the-art satisfiability (SAT) solvers are capable of solving large application instances with efficient branching heuristics. The VSIDS heuristic is widely used because of its robustness. This paper focuses on the inherent ties in VSIDS and proposes a new branching heuristic called TBVSIDS, which attempts to break the ties with the consideration of the interplay between the branchi...
متن کاملHybrid Branching-Time Logics
Hybrid branching-time logics are introduced as extensions of CT L-like logics with state variables and the downarrow-binder. Following recent work in the linear framework, only logics with a single variable are considered. The expressive power and the complexity of satisfiability of the resulting logics is investigated. As main result, the satisfiability problem for the hybrid versions of sever...
متن کاملHypothesis testing for neural cell growth experiments using a hybrid branching process model.
Neuron branching patterns can characterize neural cell types and act as markers for neurodegenerative disease and neural development. We develop a hybrid Markovian model for neural branching that extends previously published models by (i) using a discretized gamma model to account for underdispersion in primary branching, (ii) incorporating both bifurcation and trifurcation branching events to ...
