• Abstract: Existing methods provide varying algorithms for different types of Boolean satisfiability problems (SAT), lacking a general solution framework. Accordingly, this study proposes a unified framework DCSAT based on integer programming and reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm to solve different types of SAT problems such as MaxSAT, Weighted MaxSAT, PMS, WPMS. Specifically, we first construct a consolidated integer programming representation for four types of SAT problems by adjusting objective function coefficients. Secondly, we construct an appropriate reinforcement learning models based on the 0-1 integer programming for SAT problems. Based on the binary tree search structure, we apply the Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) method on SAT problems. Finally, we prove that this method can find all optimal Boolean assignments based on Wiener-khinchin law of large Numbers. We experimentally verify that this paradigm can prune the unnecessary search space to find the optimal Boolean assignments for the problem. Furthermore, the proposed method can provide diverse labels for supervised learning methods for SAT problems.

  We introduce hardware accelerated algorithms for fast SAT problem generation and a geometric SAT encoding.

We demonstrate our results on a set of randomly generated Max-SAT instances as well as real world examples from the Max-SAT evaluation benchmarks.

  SAT is a fundamental NP-complete problem with many applications, including automated scheduling. To solve large instances, SAT solvers have to rely on Booleans, e.g., choosing a branching variable in DPLL and CDCL solvers. We suggest a strategy of making a few initial steps with a trained ML model and then releasing control to classical runtimes.
