Clausal Congruence Closure

Authors: Armin Biere, Katalin Fazekas, Mathias Fleury, and Nils Froleyks

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 305, 27th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2024)

Abstract
Many practical applications of satisfiability solving employ multiple steps to encode an original problem formulation into conjunctive normal form. Often circuits are used as intermediate representation before encoding those circuits into clausal form. These circuits however might contain redundant isomorphic sub-circuits. If blindly translated into clausal form, this redundancy is retained and increases solving time unless specific preprocessing algorithms are used. Furthermore, such redundant sub-formula structure might only emerge during solving and needs to be addressed by inprocessing. This paper presents a new approach which extracts gate information from the formula and applies congruence closure to match and eliminate redundant gates. Besides new algorithms for gate extraction, we also describe previous unpublished attempts to tackle this problem. Experiments focus on the important problem of combinational equivalence checking for hardware designs and show that our new approach yields a substantial gain in CNF solver performance.

Lazy Reimplication in Chronological Backtracking

Authors: Robin Coutelier, Mathias Fleury, and Laura Kovács

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 305, 27th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2024)

Abstract
Chronological backtracking is an interesting SAT solving technique within CDCL reasoning, as it backtracks less aggressively upon conflicts. However, chronological backtracking is more difficult to maintain due to its weaker SAT solving invariants. This paper introduces a lazy reimplication procedure for missed lower implications in chronological backtracking. Our method saves propagations by reimplying literals on demand, rather than eagerly. Due to its modularity, our work can be replicated in other solvers, as shown by our results in the solvers CaDiCaL and Glucose.

Faster LRAT Checking Than Solving with CaDiCaL

Authors: Florian Pollitt, Mathias Fleury, and Armin Biere

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 271, 26th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2023)

Abstract
DRAT is the standard proof format used in the SAT Competition. It is easy to generate but checking proofs often takes even more time than solving the problem. An alternative is to use the LRAT proof system. While LRAT is easier and way more efficient to check, it is more complex to generate directly. Due to this complexity LRAT is not supported natively by any state-of-the-art SAT solver. Therefore Carneiro and Heule proposed the mixed proof format FRAT which still suffers from costly intermediate translation. We present an extension to the state-of-the-art solver CaDiCaL which is able to generate LRAT natively for all procedures implemented in CaDiCaL. We further present Lrat-Trim, a tool which not only trims and checks LRAT proofs in both ASCII and binary format but also produces clausal cores and has been tested thoroughly. Our experiments on recent competition benchmarks show that our approach reduces time of proof generation and certification substantially compared to competing approaches using intermediate DRAT or FRAT proofs.

Nested Multisets, Hereditary Multisets, and Syntactic Ordinals in Isabelle/HOL

Authors: Jasmin Christian Blanchette, Mathias Fleury, and Dmitriy Traytel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 84, 2nd International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2017)

Abstract
We present a collection of formalized results about finite nested multisets, developed using the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant. The nested multiset order is a generalization of the multiset order that can be used to prove termination of processes. Hereditary multisets, a variant of nested multisets, offer a convenient representation of ordinals below epsilon-0. In Isabelle/HOL, both nested and hereditary multisets can be comfortably defined as inductive datatypes. Our formal library also provides, somewhat nonstandardly, multisets with negative multiplicities and syntactic ordinals with negative coefficients. We present applications of the library to formalizations of Goodstein's theorem and the decidability of unary PCF (programming computable functions).
