I discuss recent progress in developing and exploiting connections between SAT algorithms and circuit lower bounds. The centrepiece of the article is Williams’ proof that NEXP 6⊆ ACC, which proceeds via a new algorithm for ACC-SAT beating brute-force search. His result exploits a formal connection from non-trivial SAT algorithms to circuit lower bounds. I also discuss various connections in the...

Soybean Mosaic Virus (SMV) is one of the most important soybean diseases in world, and it seriously affects yield quality. In this paper, 405 SSR molecular markers were used genome-wide scan to analysis 327 varieties North China. The purpose was search genetic loci excellent resistance genes related SMV1 SMV3, reveal differences between models varieties. results confirmed that among tested larg...

This note considers checking satisfiability of sets of propositional clauses (SAT instances). It shows that unipolar sets of clauses (containing no positive or no negative clauses) provide an early sign of satisfiability of SAT instances before all the clauses become satisfied in the course of solving SAT problems. At this sign the processing can be terminated by unipolar set termination, UST t...

The evolution of SAT algorithms over the last decade has motivated the application of SAT to model checking, initially through the use of SAT in bounded model checking and, more recently, in unbounded model checking. This paper provides an overview of modern SAT algorithms, SAT-based bounded model checking and some of the most promising approaches for unbounded model checking, namely induction ...

Water is a limiting factor for economic and social development in most arid semi-arid regions on Earth. The deliberate recharge of depleted aquifer storage later recovery, known as managed (MAR), an important tool water management sustainability . Increasing stresses groundwater subsequent overdrafts have sparked the several advanced MAR technologies, including soil treatment (SAT). SAT method ...

SAT solver. DPLL(X) part of the system is based on our SAT solver called argosat. argo-sat is a rational reconstruction of the MiniSat solver [3]. The main design goal of argo-sat was to improve code readability and flexibility of MiniSat without affecting its performance. This makes experimenting in the field of SAT research easier, and also enables us to formally prove the correctness of the ...

We present a variant of the Weighted Maximum Satisfiability Problem (Weighted Max-SAT), which is a modeling of the Semiring Constraint Satisfaction framework. We show how to encode a Semiring Constraint Satisfaction Problem (SCSP) into an instance of a propositional Weighted Max-SAT, and call the encoding Weighted Semiring Max-SAT (WS-Max-SAT). The clauses in our encoding are highly structured ...

This paper studies the practical impact of the branching heuristics used in Propositional Satisfiability (SAT) algorithms, when applied to solving real-world instances of SAT. In addition, different SAT algorithms are experimentally evaluated. The main conclusion of this study is that even though branching heuristics are crucial for solving SAT, other aspects of the organization of SAT algorith...

Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) solving has dramatically evolved in the past decade and a half. The outcome, today, is manifested in dozens of high performance and relatively scalable SAT solvers. The significant success of SAT solving technology, specially on practical problem instances, is credited to the aggregation of different SAT enhancements. In this paper, we revisit the organization of mo...
