SAT SolvingPresented by Avi Yadgar
The SAT Problem
Given a Boolean formula , look for assignment A for such that . A is a solution for .
A partial assignment assigns a subset of . CNF representation of :
is a conjunction of clauses: A clause is a disjunction of literals:
( )v( ( ))A v true v
( )v
( )v1 2( ) ... mv cl cl cl
1( ... )i lcl lit lit
v
( )v
The SAT Problem
= (v1 v2 v5) (v1 v7 v9) … (v5 v7)
A satisfies ↔ A satisfies all its clauses. Each clause needs one “true” literal
NP-Complete Many applications Very efficient solvers Search / Proof engine
( )v
Boolean Constraint Propagation Unit Clause: A clause with exactly one
unassigned literal, while all the rest are false. Asserts the value of the unassigned variable.
cl = ( v3)
v1 = 0
v2 = 1
v3 = ?v1 = 0 v2 = 0
v3 = 1 v1 v2
Boolean Constraint Propagation Unit Clause: A clause with exactly one
unassigned literal, while all the rest are false. Asserts the value of the unassigned variable.
cl implies and is its antecedent. v1 and v2 are the antecedent variables of
BCP(): Calculates all the possible implications.

CUT: A bi-partition of the graph. The conflict is on the ‘conflict side’. The decisions are on the ‘reason side’ No edge from the ‘conflict side’ to the ‘reason
side’. The edges which cut the cut represent the
reason to the conflict.

The clause (v2,v3) is
created after a conflict
The search tree is pruned accordingly
Learning: Conflict Clauses Prevent the reason to the conflict.
Consists of the negation to the reason literals. Prunes the search tree.
Different cuts yield different conflict clauses. We choose cuts such that:
Conflict clause includes one variable from the top level.
It is a unit clause after backtracking one level. The new problem is equivalent to the original.

Non –Chronological Backtracking Backtrack multiple levels instead of one. Use conflict clause to determine the level
Backtrack to the minimum level where the clause is still asserting.
