R. Sebastiani (1994) Applying GSATto Non-Clausal Formulas

R. Sebastiani (1994) "Applying GSATto Non-Clausal Formulas", Volume 1, pages 309-314

In this paper we describe how to modify GSAT so that it can be applied to non-clausal formulas. The idea is to use a particular ``score'' function which gives the number of clauses of the CNF conversion of a formula which are false under a given truth assignment. Its value is computed in linear time, without constructing the CNF conversion itself. The proposed methodology applies to most of the variants of GSAT proposed so far.
