Heuristics based on unit propagation for satisfiability problems

Open publisher page 330 citations

Abstract

The paper studies new unit propagation based heuristics for Davis-Putnam-Loveland (DPL) procedure. These are the novel combinations of unit propagation and the usual "Maximum Occurrences in clauses of Minimum Size " heuristics. Based on the experimental evaluations of di erent alternatives a new simple unit propagation based heuristic is put forward. This compares favorably with the heuristics employed in the current state-of-the-art DPL implementations (C-SAT, Tableau, POSIT). 1
