We analyze to what extent the random SAT and Max-SAT problems differ in their properties. Our findings suggest that for random $k$-CNF with ratio in a certain range, Max-SAT can be solved by any SAT algorithm with subexponential slowdown,…
An algorithm is given for finding the solutions to 3SAT problems. The algorithm uses Bienstock's reduction from 3SAT to existence of induced odd cycle of length greater than three, passing through a prescribed node in the constructed graph.…
We introduce a new local search algorithm for satisfiability problems. Usual approaches focus uniformly on unsatisfied clauses. The new method works by picking uniformly random variables in unsatisfied clauses. A Variable-based Focused…
We review a minimum set of notions from our previous paper on structural properties of SAT at arXiv:0802.1790 that will allow us to define and discuss the "complete internal independence" of a decision problem. This property is strictly…

In evolutionary multi-objective optimization, the indicator-based subset selection problem involves finding a subset of points that maximizes a given quality indicator. Local search is an effective approach for obtaining a high-quality…
We derive constraints on the existence of walls for Bridgeland stability conditions for general projective surfaces. We show that in suitable planes of stability conditions the walls are bounded and derive conditions for when the number of…

Resonances driven by the error field multipoles in the magnets often show themselves as islands in phase plots of the particle motion. In order to be able to measure the strength of the island resonance, and then to correct it, it is…
We present a general framework for good CNF-representations of boolean constraints, to be used for translating decision problems into SAT problems (i.e., deciding satisfiability for conjunctive normal forms). We apply it to the…

Neuroevolution commonly uses speciation strategies to better explore the search space of neural network architectures. One such speciation strategy is through the use of islands, which are also popular in improving performance and…
This paper analyzes to what extent it is possible to efficiently reduce the number of clauses in NP-hard satisfiability problems, without changing the answer. Upper and lower bounds are established using the concept of kernelization.…

Constrained Optimum Path (COP) problems appear in many real-life applications, especially on communication networks. Some of these problems have been considered and solved by specific techniques which are usually difficult to extend. In…
We use generalized Taylor formulae in order to give some simple constructions in the real closure of an \ovfz. We deduce a new, simple quantifier elimination algorithm for \rcvfs and some theorems about constructible subsets of real…
Foundational optimization embeddings have recently emerged as powerful pre-trained representations for mixed-integer programming (MIP) problems. These embeddings were shown to enable cross-domain transfer and reduce reliance on…
We study the complexity of local search for the Boolean constraint satisfaction problem (CSP), in the following form: given a CSP instance, that is, a collection of constraints, and a solution to it, the question is whether there is a…
Linear integer constraints are one of the most important constraints in combinatorial problems since they are commonly found in many practical applications. Typically, encodings to Boolean satisfiability (SAT) format of conjunctive normal…
Recent research in areas such as SAT solving and Integer Linear Programming has shown that the performances of a single arbitrarily efficient solver can be significantly outperformed by a portfolio of possibly slower on-average solvers. We…
