A Pearl on SAT and SMT Solving in Prolog

Howe, Jacob M., King, Andy (2012) A Pearl on SAT and SMT Solving in Prolog. Theoretical Computer Science, 435 . pp. 43-55. ISSN 0304-3975. (doi:10.1016/j.tcs.2012.02.024) (KAR id:30812)

Abstract

A succinct SAT solver is presented that exploits the control provided by delay declarations to implement watched literals and unit propagation. Despite its brevity the solver is surprisingly powerful and its elegant use of Prolog constructs is presented as a programming pearl. Furthermore, the SAT solver can be integrated into an SMT framework which exploits the constraint solvers that are available in many Prolog systems.
