A Pearl on SAT Solving in Prolog

Jacob M. Howe and Andy King

In Matthias Blume and German Vidal, editors, Tenth International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, page 10. Springer-Verlag, April 2010.

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.
