Class SolverDecorator

java.lang.Object
  org.sat4j.tools.SolverDecorator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, IProblem, ISolver

Direct Known Subclasses:

Minimal4CardinalityModel, Minimal4InclusionModel, ModelIterator, SolutionCounter

public abstract class SolverDecorator
extends java.lang.Object
implements ISolver, java.io.Serializable

The aim of that class is to allow adding dynamic responsabilities to SAT solvers using the Decorator design pattern. The class is abstract because it does not makes sense to use it "as is".

Specified by:

printStat in interface ISolver

prefix - the prefix to put in front of each line

newVar

public int newVar()

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Create a new variable in the solver (and thus in the vocabulary). WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE TO PRECOMPUTE THE NUMBER OF VARIABLES NEEDED AND TO USE newVar(howmany) INSTEAD. IF YOU EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM OF EFFICIENCY WHEN READING/BUILDING YOUR SAT INSTANCE, PLEASE CHECK THAT YOU ARE NOT USING THAT METHOD.

Specified by:

newVar in interface ISolver

Returns:

the number of variables available in the vocabulary, which is the identifier of the new variable.

newVar

public int newVar(int howmany)

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Create howmany variables in the solver (and thus in the vocabulary).

Specified by:

newVar in interface ISolver

Parameters:

howmany - number of variables to create

Returns:

the total number of variables available in the solver (the highest variable number)

addClause

public IConstr addClause(IVecInt literals)
                  throws ContradictionException

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Create a clause from a set of literals The literals are represented by non null integers such that opposite literals a represented by opposite values. (clasical Dimacs way of representing literals).

Specified by:

addClause in interface ISolver

Parameters:

literals - a set of literals

Returns:

a reference to the constraint added in the solver, to use in removeConstr().

Throws:

ContradictionException - iff the vector of literals is empty or if it contains only falsified literals after unit propagation

See Also:

ISolver.removeConstr(IConstr)

addAllClauses

public void addAllClauses(IVec<IVecInt> clauses)
                   throws ContradictionException

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Create clauses from a set of set of literals. This is convenient to create in a single call all the clauses (mandatory for the distributed version of the solver). It is mainly a loop to addClause().

Specified by:

addAllClauses in interface ISolver

Parameters:

clauses - a vector of set (VecInt) of literals in the dimacs format. The vector can be reused since the solver is not supposed to keep a reference to that vector.

Throws:

ContradictionException - iff the vector of literals is empty or if it contains only falsified literals after unit propagation

See Also:

ISolver.addClause(IVecInt)

addAtMost

public IConstr addAtMost(IVecInt literals,
                         int degree)
                  throws ContradictionException

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Create a cardinality constraint of the type "at most n of those literals must be satisfied"

Specified by:

addAtMost in interface ISolver

Parameters:

literals - a set of literals The vector can be reused since the solver is not supposed to keep a reference to that vector.

degree - the degree of the cardinality constraint

Returns:

a reference to the constraint added in the solver, to use in removeConstr().

Throws:

ContradictionException - iff the vector of literals is empty or if it contains more than degree satisfied literals after unit propagation

See Also:

ISolver.removeConstr(IConstr)

addAtLeast

public IConstr addAtLeast(IVecInt literals,
                          int degree)
                   throws ContradictionException

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Create a cardinality constraint of the type "at least n of those literals must be satisfied"

Specified by:

addAtLeast in interface ISolver

Parameters:

literals - a set of literals. The vector can be reused since the solver is not supposed to keep a reference to that vector.

degree - the degree of the cardinality constraint

Returns:

a reference to the constraint added in the solver, to use in removeConstr().

Throws:

ContradictionException - iff the vector of literals is empty or if degree literals are not remaining unfalsified after unit propagation

ISolver.removeConstr(IConstr)

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Create a Pseudo-Boolean constraint of the type "at least n of those literals must be satisfied"

Specified by:

addPseudoBoolean in interface ISolver

coeffs - the coefficients of the literals. The vector can be reused since the solver is not supposed to keep a reference to that vector.

moreThan - true if it is a constraint >= degree

degree - the degree of the cardinality constraint

Returns:

a reference to the constraint added in the solver, to use in removeConstr().
