public void registerLiteral(int p)

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Tell the solver to consider that the literal is in the CNF. Since model() only return the truth value of the literals that appear in the solver, it is sometimes required that the solver provides a default truth value for a given literal. This happens for instance for MaxSat.

Parameters:

p - the literal in Dimacs format that should appear in the model.

setDataStructureFactory

Specified by:

Parameters:

Returns:

See Also:

ISolver.removeConstr(IConstr)

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Remove a constraint returned by one of the add method from the solver. All learned clauses will be cleared. Current implementation does not handle properly the case of unit clauses.

Specified by:

removeConstr in interface ISolver

Parameters:

co - a constraint returned by one of the add method.

Returns:

true if the constraint was successfully removed.

removeSubsumedConstr

public boolean removeSubsumedConstr(IConstr co)

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Remove a constraint returned by one of the add method from the solver that is subsumed by a constraint already in the solver or to be added to the solver. Unlike the removeConstr() method, learned clauses will NOT be cleared. That method is expected to be used to remove constraints used in the optimization process. In order to prevent a wrong from the user, the method will only work if the argument is the last constraint added to the solver. An illegal argument exception will be thrown in other cases.

Specified by:

removeSubsumedConstr in interface ISolver

Parameters:

co - a constraint returned by one of the add method. It must be the latest constr added to the solver.

Specified by:

isDBSimplificationAllowed in interface ISolver

setDBSimplificationAllowed

public void setDBSimplificationAllowed(boolean status)

Description copied from interface: ISolver

nextFreeVarId

public int nextFreeVarId(boolean reserve)

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Ask the solver for a free variable identifier, in Dimacs format (i.e. a positive number). Note that a previous call to newVar(max) will reserve in the solver the variable identifier from 1 to max, so nextFreeVarId() would return max+1, even if some variable identifiers smaller than max are not used. By default, the method will always answer by the maximum variable identifier used so far + 1. The number of variables reserved in the solver is accessible through the ISolver.realNumberOfVariables() method.

Specified by:

nextFreeVarId in interface ISolver

Parameters:

reserve - if true, the maxVarId is updated in the solver, i.e. successive calls to nextFreeVarId(true) will return increasing variable id while successive calls to nextFreeVarId(false) will always answer the same.

Returns:

a variable identifier not in use in the constraints already inside the solver.

Since:

2.1

public int[] modelWithInternalVariables()

Description copied from interface: ISolver

That method is designed to be used to retrieve the real model of the current set of constraints, i.e. to provide the truth value of boolean variables used internally in the solver (for encoding purposes for instance). If no variables are added in the solver, then Arrays.equals(model(),modelWithInternalVariables()). In case new variables are added to the solver, then the number of models returned by that method is greater of equal to the number of models returned by model() when using a ModelIterator.

Specified by:

Returns:

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Retrieve the real number of variables used in the solver. In many cases, realNumberOfVariables()==nVars(). However, when working with SAT encodings or translation from MAXSAT to PMS, one can have realNumberOfVariables()>nVars(). Those additional variables are supposed to be created using the ISolver.nextFreeVarId(boolean) method.

Description copied from interface: ISolverService

Ask the SAT solver to backtrack. It is mandatory to provide a reason for backtracking, in terms of literals (which should be falsified under current assignment).

Specified by:

backtrack in interface ISolverService

Parameters:

reason - a set of literals, in Dimacs format, currently falsified, i.e. for (int l : reason) assert truthValue(l) == Lbool.FALSE

the value of the heuristics for each variable (using Dimacs index).

getLearnedConstraints

public IVec<Constr> getLearnedConstraints()

isSolverKeptHot

public boolean isSolverKeptHot()

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Ask to the solver if it is in "hot" mode, meaning that the heuristics is not reset after call is isSatisfiable(). This is only useful in case of repeated calls to the solver with same set of variables.

Specified by:

isSolverKeptHot in interface ISolver

Returns:

true iff the solver keep the heuristics value unchanged across calls.

setKeepSolverHot

public void setKeepSolverHot(boolean keepHot)

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Changed the behavior of the SAT solver heuristics between successive calls. If the value is true, then the solver will be "hot" on reuse, i.e. the heuristics will not be reset. Else the heuristics will be reset.

Specified by:

setKeepSolverHot in interface ISolver

Parameters:

keepHot - true to keep the heuristics values across calls, false either.

addClause

public void addClause(int[] literals)

Description copied from interface: ISolverService

Add a new clause in the SAT solver. The new clause may contain new variables. The clause may be falsified, in that case, the difference with backtrack() is that the new clause is appended to the solver as a regular clause. Thus it will not be removed by aggressive clause deletion. The clause may be assertive at a given decision level. In that case, the solver should backtrack to the proper decision level. In other cases, the search should simply proceed.

Specified by:

addClause in interface ISolverService

Parameters:

literals - a set of literals in Dimacs format.
