A New Set of Algebraic Benchmark Problems for SAT Solvers

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 3569))

Abstract

We propose a new benchmark set consisting of problems generated during the construction of classification theorems for quasigroups. It extends and generalises the domain of quasigroup existence problems, to which SAT solvers have been applied successfully in the past, to a rich class of benchmarks of varying difficulty.
