Transforming Inconsistent Subformulas in MaxSAT Lower Bound Computation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 5202))

Abstract

We define a new heuristic that guides the application of cycle resolution (CR) in MaxSAT, and show that it produces better lower bounds than those obtained by applying CR exhaustively as in Max-DPLL, and by applying CR in a limited way when unit propagation detects a contradiction as in MaxSatz.
