Overview The integration of land administration processes and the collaboration of land agencies are considered essential for the effective delivery of developable land for housing production. However, in most countries, housing and land management policies are usually split between multiple government agencies. The background literature suggests that the activities of governments’ agencies tha...

This study uses analysis of co-variance in order to determine which cognitive/learning (working memory, knowledge integration, epistemic belief of learning) or social/personality factors (test anxiety, performance-avoidance goals) might account for gender differences in SAT-V, SAT-M, and overall SAT scores. The results revealed that none of the cognitive/learning factors accounted for gender di...

Description of a polynomial time reduction of SAT to 2-SAT of polynomial size.

The theory of hierarchical Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solving proposed in this paper is based on a strict axiomatic system and introduces a new important notion of implicativity. The theory makes evident that increasing implicativity is the core of SAT-solving. We provide a theoretical basis for increasing the implicativity of a given SAT instance and for organizing SAT-solving in a hierarchi...

Max-SAT is an extensively studied optimization problem and variations of Max-SAT (like Partial Max-SAT and Weighted Max-SAT) can be used for computing minimal diagnoses. In this report we (1) describe a family of algorithms for computing minimal diagnoses based on Max-SAT and (2) experimentally evaluate the performance and optimality of these algorithms on a benchmark consisting of 74XXX/ISCAS8...

We establish the satisfiability threshold for random $k$-SAT all $k\ge k_0$, with $k_0$ an absolute constant. That is, there exists a limiting density $\alpha_{\rm sat}(k)$ such that formula of clause $\alpha$ is high probability satisfiable $\alpha\lt \alpha_{\rm sat}$, and unsatisfiable $\alpha>\alpha_{\rm sat}$. show given explicitly by one-step replica symmetry breaking prediction from stat...

An interesting strategy called configuration checking (CC) was recently proposed to handle the cycling problem in local search for Minimum Vertex Cover. A natural question is whether this CC also works SAT. The direct application of did not result stochastic (SLS) algorithms that can compete with current best SLS In paper, we propose a new heuristic based on SAT, which aspiration (CCA). It used...

We study the problem of building structure-aware SAT-solvers based on resolution. In this study, we use the idea of treating a resolution proof as a process of Boundary Point Elimination (BPE). We identify two problems of using SAT-algorithms with Conflict Driven Clause Learning (CDCL) for structure-aware SAT-solving. We introduce a template of resolution based SAT-solvers called BPE-SAT that i...
