1 Satisfiability and SAT Solvers CS 270 Math Foundations of CS Jeremy Johnson

2 Conjunctive Normal Form Conjunctive normal form (products of sums) Conjunction of clauses (disjunction of literals) For each row in the truth table where the output is false, write a sum such that the corresponding input not in that row Alternatively use Demorgan s law for the negation of dnf for f (zero rows) E.G. (multiplexor function) (ss + xx 0 + xx 1 ) (ss + xx 0 + xx 1 ) ( ss + xx 0 + xx 1 ) ( ss + xx 0 + xx 1 ) s x 0 x 1 f

3 Satisfiability A formula is satisfiable if there is an assignment to the variables that make the formula true A formula is unsatisfiable if all assignments to variables eval to false A formula is falsifiable if there is an assignment to the variables that make the formula false A formula is valid if all assignments to variables eval to true (a valid formula is a theorem or tautology)

4 Satisfiability Checking to see if a formula f is satisfiable can be done by searching a truth table for a true entry Exponential in the number of variables Does not appear to be a polynomial time algorithm (satisfiability is NP-complete) There are efficient satisfiability checkers that work well on many practical problems Checking whether f is satisfiable can be done by checking if f is not valid An assignment that evaluates to false provides a counter example to validity

5 DNF vs CNF It is easy to determine if a boolean expression in DNF is satisfiable but difficult to determine if it is valid It is easy to determine if a boolean expression in CNF is valid but difficult to determine if it is satisfiable It is possible to convert any boolean expression to DNF or CNF; however, there can be exponential blowup

6 SAT Solvers Input expected in CNF Using DIMACS format One clause per line delimited by 0 Variables encoded by integers, not variable encoded by negating integer We will use MiniSAT (minisat.se)

7 MiniSAT Example (x1 -x5 x4) & (-x1 x5 x3 x4) & (-x3 x4). DIMACS format (c = comment, p cnf = SAT problem in CNF) c SAT problem in CNF with 5 variables and 3 clauses p cnf

8 MiniSAT Example (x1 -x5 x4) & (-x1 x5 x3 x4) & (-x3 x4). This is MiniSat 2.0 beta ============================[ Problem Statistics ]================== Number of variables: 5 Number of clauses: 3 Parsing time: 0.00 s. SATISFIABLE v

9 Avionics Application Aircraft controlled by (real time) software applications (navigation, control, obstacle detection, obstacle avoidance ) Applications run on computers in different cabinets 500 apps 20 cabinets Apps 1, 2 and 3 must run in separate cabinets Problem: Find assignment of apps to cabinets that satisfies constraints

10 Corresponding SAT problem AC is a map from apps to cabinents [indicator variable] AC(app,cab) = t iff AC(app) = cab [Valid Mapping] aa cc AAAA aa cc aa AA cc CC AAAA aa cc [constaints] cc AAAA 1 cc AAAA 2 cc AAAA 3 cc cc AAAA 2 cc AAAA 3 cc cc CC AAAA 1 cc AAAA 2 cc AAAA 3 cc cc CC AAAA 2 cc AAAA 3 cc

11 Constaints in CNF cc CC AAAA 1 cc AAAA 2 cc AAAA 3 cc cc CC AAAA 1 cc AAAA 2 cc AAAA 1 cc AAAA 3 cc cc CC AAAA 2 cc AAAA 3 cc cc CC AAAA 2 cc AAAA 3 cc

12 DIMACS Format Var(AAAA aa cc ) = 20(a-1)+c AAAA cc 1 AAAA cc 2 = -c (20+c) AAAA cc 1 AAAA cc 3 = -c -(40+c) AAAA 1 aa AAAA 20 aa = 20(a-1)+1 20(a-1)

13 Avionics Example 10 apps and 5 cabinets Var(AAAA cc aa ) = 5(a-1)+c 50 variables 25 clauses Valid Map aa=1 10 AAAA aa 1 AAAA aa 5 Constaints cc CC AAAA cc cc 1 AAAA 2 cc CC AAAA cc cc 1 AAAA 3 cc CC AAAA cc cc 2 AAAA 3

14 Avionics Example p cnf c clauses for valid map forall a exists c AC^c_a

15 Avionics Example c constaints ~AC^c_1 + ~AC^c_2 and ~AC^c_1 + ~AC^c_ c constraint ~AC^c_2 + ~AC^c_

17 Avionics Assignment SAT True indicator variables: 3 = 5*0 + 3 => AC(1,3) 7 = 5*1 + 2 => AC(2,2) 11 = 5*2 + 1 => AC(3,1) 16 = 5*3+1 => AC(4,1) 21 = 5*4+1 => AC(5,1) 26 = 5*5=1 => AC(6,1) 31 = 5*6+1 => AC(7,1) 36 = 5*7+1 => AC(8,1) 41 = 5*8 + 1 => AC(9,1) 46 = 5*9+1 => AC(10,1)
