Hornsat a clause is a horn clause if at most one literal is positive if all clauses are horn, then problem is hornsat. Given a conjunctive normal form with three literals per clause, the problem is to determine whether there exists a truth assignment to the variables so that each clause has exactly one true literal and thus exactly two false literals. Our approach, implemented in the 2004 version of zchaff solver and in a generic chaffbased sat solver, results in a significant performance boost on hard industrial benchmarks. In practice, for most sat problems, a major potion greater than 90% in most cases of the solvers run time is spent in the bcp process. Sat encodings are no longer an obstacle for modern sat solvers. Existing approaches of this problem take exponential time and are also memory inefficient.

We have success stories of using zchaff to solve problems with more than one million variables and 10 million clauses. In fact, for many combinatorial search and reasoning tasks, the translation to sat followed by the use of a modern sat solver is often more effective than a custom search engine running on the original problem formulation. Cube subtraction systematically subtracts all clausecubes from the universal cube. Keywords satisfying assignment partial assignment conjunctive normal form formula decision heuristic empty clause. Here is my github repo, with included howto, for minisat. I typically about 80% of satsolver runtime i resolve.
