MAX-SAT问题一种改进的局部搜索算法

局部搜索算法是求解大规模SAT问题的高效算法。经典的局部搜索算法有GSAT、WSAT、TSAT、NSAT等,但这些算法的初始解都是随机产生的。本文提出了用单纯形法产生“初始概率”（每个变量取1的概率）,用“初始概率”对局部搜索算法中变量的初始随机指派进行适当的约束,使在局部搜索的开始阶段,满足的子句数大大增加,加快了收敛的速度。通过对不同规模的随机STA问题实例的实验表明,这些改进有效地提高了局部搜索算法求解SAT问题的效率。

基于加强概率控制策略的SAT局部搜索算法

局部搜索算法是目前求解SAT问题比较有效的方法,而Sattime算法是在SAT国际大赛中获得大奖的一种典型局部搜索算法。在Sattime算法的求解过程中,记录变元翻转事件流数据库,通过数据分析与模式挖掘,发现Sattime算法的局部搜索行为中会出现相邻搜索步选择同一个变元的现象,即所谓的回环现象,从而降低了求解效率。为解决此问题,提出两种概率控制策略：加强子句选择策略和加强变元选择策略,并将这两种策略应用到Sattime算法中,形成新的局部搜索算法Sattime-P。实验结果表明,与Sattime算法相比,改进后的Sattime-P算法求解效率有显著的提升。该方法也对其他局部搜索算法的改进具有参考价值。

Parallel hybrid method for SAT that couples genetic algorithms andlocal search

A parallel hybrid method for solving the satisfiability (SAT) problem that combines cellular genetic algorithms (GAs) and the random walk SAT (WSAT) strategy of greedy SAT (GSAT) is presented. The method, called cellular genetic WSAT (CGWSAT), uses a cellular GA to perform a global search from a random initial population of candidate solutions and a local selective generation of new strings. The global search is then specialized in local search by adopting the WSAT strategy. A main characteristic of the method is that it indirectly provides a parallel implementation of WSAT when the probability of crossover is set to zero. CGWSAT has been implemented on a Meiko CS-2 parallel machine using a 2D cellular automaton as a parallel computation model. The algorithm has been tested on randomly generated problems and some classes of problems from the DIMACS and SATLIB test set     

An Overview of Backtrack Search Satisfiability Algorithms

Propositional Satisfiability (SAT) is often used as the underlying model for a significant number of applications in Artificial Intelligence as well as in other fields of Computer Science and Engineering. Algorithmic solutions for SAT include, among others, local search, backtrack search and algebraic manipulation. In recent years, several different organizations of local search and backtrack search algorithms for SAT have been proposed, in many cases allowing larger problem instances to be solved in different application domains. While local search algorithms have been shown to be particularly useful for random instances of SAT, recent backtrack search algorithms have been used for solving large instances of SAT from real-world applications. In this paper we provide an overview of backtrack search SAT algorithms. We describe and illustrate a number of techniques that have been empirically shown to be highly effective in pruning the amount of search on significant and representative classes of problem instances. In particular, we review strategies for non-chronological backtracking, procedures for clause recording and for the identification of necessary variable assignments, and mechanisms for the structural simplification of instances of SAT.     

Configuration landscape analysis and backbone guided local search.: Part I: Satisfiability and maximum satisfiability

Boolean satisfiability (SAT) and maximum satisfiability (Max-SAT) are difficult combinatorial problems that have many important real-world applications. In this paper, we first investigate the configuration landscapes of local minima reached by the WalkSAT local search algorithm, one of the most effective algorithms for SAT. A configuration landscape of a set of local minima is their distribution in terms of quality and structural differences relative to an optimal or a reference solution. Our experimental results show that local minima from WalkSAT form large clusters, and their configuration landscapes constitute big valleys, in that high quality local minima typically share large partial structures with optimal solutions. Inspired by this insight into WalkSAT and the previous research on phase transitions and backbones of combinatorial problems, we propose and develop a novel method that exploits the configuration landscapes of such local minima. The new method, termed as backbone-guided search, can be embedded in a local search algorithm, such as WalkSAT, to improve its performance. Our experimental results show that backbone-guided local search is effective on overconstrained random Max-SAT instances. Moreover, on large problem instances from a SAT library (SATLIB), the backbone guided WalkSAT algorithm finds satisfiable solutions more often than WalkSAT on SAT problem instances, and obtains better solutions than WalkSAT on Max-SAT problem instances, improving solution quality by 20% on average.     

求解SAT问题的拟人退火算法

Guided Local Search for Solving SAT and Weighted MAX-SAT Problems

In this paper, we show how Guided Local Search (GLS) can be applied to the SAT problem and show how the resulting algorithm can be naturally extended to solve the weighted MAX-SAT problem. GLS is a general, penalty-based meta-heuristic, which sits on top of local search algorithms to help guide them out of local minima. GLS has been shown to be successful in solving a number of practical real-life problems, such as the traveling salesman problem, BT"s workforce scheduling problem, the radio link frequency assignment problem, and the vehicle routing problem. We present empirical results of applying GLS to instances of the SAT problem from the DIMACS archive and also a small set of weighted MAX-SAT problem instances and compare them with the results of other local search algorithms for the SAT problem.

Improving configuration checking for satisfiable random <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-SAT instances

Local search algorithms based on the Configuration Checking (CC) strategy have been shown to be efficient in solving satisfiable random k-SAT instances. The purpose of the CC strategy is to avoid the cycling problem, which corresponds to revisiting already flipped variables too soon. It is done by considering the neighborhood of the formula variables. In this paper, we propose to improve the CC strategy on the basis of an empirical study of a powerful algorithm using this strategy. The first improvement introduces a new and simple criterion, which refines the selection of the variables to flip for the 3-SAT instances. The second improvement is achieved by using the powerful local search algorithm Novelty with the adaptive noise setting. This algorithm enhances the efficiency of the intensification and diversification phases when solving k-SAT instances with k ≥ 4. We name the resulting local search algorithm Ncca+ and show its effectiveness when treating satisfiable random k-SAT instances issued from the SAT Challenge 2012. Ncca+ won the bronze medal of the random SAT track of the SAT Competition 2013.
