摘要翻译:
最大可满足性(MaxSAT)是一种著名的优化方法,有许多实际应用。最广为人知的MAXS AT算法在解决实际应用领域中的困难问题时是无效的。最近的工作提出了利用有效的布尔可满足性(SAT)求解器来解决MaxSAT问题,基于识别和消除不可满足的子公式。然而,这些算法在实践中并不具有可扩展性。分析了现有的基于不可满足子公式辨识的MaxSAT算法。此外,本文还对MaxSAT算法进行了一些关键优化,提出了一种新的替代算法。在实际应用中,所提出的优化和新算法在MaxSAT实例上提供了显着的性能改进。此外,新一代基于不可满足性的MaxSAT求解器的效率有效地反映了现代SAT求解器证明不可满足性和识别不可满足子公式的能力。

英文摘要:
Maximum Satisfiability (MaxSAT) is a well-known optimization pro- blem, with several practical applications. The most widely known MAXS AT algorithms are ineffective at solving hard problems instances from practical application domains. Recent work proposed using efficient Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) solvers for solving the MaxSAT problem, based on identifying and eliminating unsatisfiable subformulas. However, these algorithms do not scale in practice. This paper analyzes existing MaxSAT algorithms based on unsatisfiable subformula identification. Moreover, the paper proposes a number of key optimizations to these MaxSAT algorithms and a new alternative algorithm. The proposed optimizations and the new algorithm provide significant performance improvements on MaxSAT instances from practical applications. Moreover, the efficiency of the new generation of unsatisfiability-based MaxSAT solvers becomes effectively indexed to the ability of modern SAT solvers to proving unsatisfiability and identifying unsatisfiable subformulas.
