New Hybrid Heuristics for Pseudo-Boolean Propagation

Artificial Intelligence 2025-12-22 v2 Optimization and Control

Abstract

In pseudo-boolean solving the currently most successful unit propagation strategy is a hybrid mode combining the watched literal scheme with the counting method. This short paper introduces new heuristics for this hybrid decision, which are able to drastically outperform the current method in the RoundingSAT solver.
