Regular-SAT shares many properties with Boolean SAT, which allows us to generalize some of the best known SAT results and apply them to Regular-SAT. In addition, Regular-SAT has a number of advantages over Boolean SAT. Most importantly, it produces more compact encodings that capture problem structure more naturally. Furthermore, its simplicity allows us to develop Regular-SAT solvers that are competitive with SAT and CSP procedures. We present a detailed performance analysis of Regular-SAT on several benchmark domains. These results show a clear computational advantage of using a Regular- SAT approach over a pure Boolean SAT or CSP approach, at least on the domains under consideration. We therefore believe that an approach based on Regular-SAT provides a compelling intermediate approach between SAT and CSPs, bringing together some of the best features of each paradigm. 2024-12-05T21:28:11Z 2024-12-05T21:28:11Z 2016-06-23T08:15:26Z 2025-01-01 2001 article acceptedVersion http://hdl.handle.net/10459.1/57271 Reproducció del document publicat a https://doi.org/10.1016/S1571-0653(04)00336-1 Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2001, vol. 9, p. 392-407 (c) Elsevier, 2001 info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess Elsevier
