Reducing SAT to Max2XOR (2204.01774v1)
Published 4 Apr 2022 in cs.AI
Abstract: Representing some problems with XOR clauses (parity constraints) can allow to apply more efficient reasoning techniques. In this paper, we present a gadget for translating SAT clauses into Max2XOR constraints, i.e., XOR clauses of at most 2 variables equal to zero or to one. Additionally, we present new resolution rules for the Max2XOR problem which asks for which is the maximum number of constraints that can be satisfied from a set of 2XOR equations.
