sukrutrao / SAT-Solver-DPLL

A simple SAT solver that implements the DPLL algorithm with unit resolution

SAT-Solver-DPLL

A SAT Solver based on the Davis-Putnam-Logemann-Loveland (DPLL) algorithm.

Installation

Prerequisites

• g++ (or any other C++ compiler) with C++11 support
• GNU make

Building the project

• Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/sukrutrao/SAT-Solver-DPLL.git
$ cd SAT-Solver-DPLL

• Compile the program

$ make

If you use a different compiler, please edit the Makefile accordingly.

Running the solver

The solver accepts input from standard input (STDIN) and sends output to the standard output (STDOUT).

Input format

The input is a SAT formula is DIMACS format. A detailed description can be found here.

Output format

• If the formula is satisfiable, the output consists of two lines. The first line of the output is a single word, SAT. The second line is any satisfying assignment. It consists of space separated boolean variables in ascending order, where the variables have a negative sign if assigned false and no negative sign if assigned true. The last variable is followed by a space and then a 0.
• If the formula is unsatisfiable, the output consists of a single word, UNSAT.

Running the solver

If the input is in a file input.cnf, use

$ ./solver < input.cnf

Example

Let the input be

c 3 variables, 6 clauses
p cnf 3 6
1 2 0
1 -2 0
3 2 0
-3 1 0
1 2 3 0
-1 -2 0

The output is

SAT
1 -2 3 0

Here, the formuls is satisfiable. Variables 1 and 3 are assigned true, and variable 2 is assigned false. This is one possible satisfying assignment.
