Abstract

We investigate the use of many-valued clausal forms as an intermediate formalism between CSP and SAT for solving combinatorial problems. In this research programme, we have recently designed and implemented a complete many-valued SAT solver called Mv-Satz [1], which builds on the popular Boolean solver Satz, and conducted an experimental investigation that provides evidence that Mv-Satz outperforms Satz and zChaff on a number of problems.

Research partially supported by project CICYT TIC2001-1577-C03-03 funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología.
