Generation of Hard Non-Clausal Random Satisfiability Problems

Abstract

We present the results from experiments with a new family of random formulas for the satisfiability problem. Our pro-posal is a generalisation of the random k-SAT model that introduces non-clausal formulas and exhibits interesting fea-tures such as experimentally observed sharp phase transition and the easy-hard-easy pattern. The experimental results pro-vide some insights on how the use of different clausal trans-lations can affect the performance of satisfiability solving al-gorithms. We also expect our model to provide diverse and challenging benchmarks for developers of SAT procedures for non-clausal formulas.
