Coloring Queens with Thousands of Encodings

Bernardo Subercaseaux, Benjamin Przybocki, Marijn J. H. Heule

In The Art of Computer Programming, Knuth benchmarked 10 encoding techniques for computing the chromatic number of the queen's graph: the minimum number of colors needed to color t…

A SAT Attack on Tarski's High School Algebra Problem

Bernardo Subercaseaux, Benjamin Przybocki

Tarski's high school algebra problem asks whether every true identity concerning addition, multiplication, and exponentiation of positive integers follows from a list of 11 element…

Toward Satisfiability Modulo Realizability

Andrew Krapivin, Benjamin Przybocki, Marijn J. H. Heule

Problems complete for the existential theory of the reals () arise throughout discrete geometry. We introduce satisfiability modulo realizability, a SAT-based a…

Bringing closure to theory combination properties

Guilherme V. Toledo, Benjamin Przybocki, Yoni Zohar

We consider the closure of three classical combination properties, namely, stable infiniteness, gentleness and shininess (or, equivalently for decidable theories, strong politeness…

Doubly Saturated Ramsey Graphs: A Case Study in Computer-Assisted Mathematical Discovery

Benjamin Przybocki, John Mackey, Marijn J. H. Heule +1

Ramsey-good graphs are graphs that contain neither a clique of size nor an independent set of size . We study doubly saturated Ramsey-good graphs, defined as Ramsey-good gra…

Automated Reencoding Meets Graph Theory

Benjamin Przybocki, Bernardo Subercaseaux, Marijn J. H. Heule

Bounded Variable Addition (BVA) is a central preprocessing method in modern state-of-the-art SAT solvers. We provide a graph-theoretic characterization of which 2-CNF encodings can…

Near-Optimal Encodings of Cardinality Constraints

Andrew Krapivin, Benjamin Przybocki, Bernardo Subercaseaux

We present several novel encodings for cardinality constraints, which use fewer clauses than previous encodings and, more importantly, introduce new generally applicable techniques…

Accelerating Scientific Research with Gemini: Case Studies and Common Techniques

David P. Woodruff, Vincent Cohen-Addad, Lalit Jain +33

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have opened new avenues for accelerating scientific research. While models are increasingly capable of assisting with routine tasks,…

Characterizing Sets of Theories That Can Be Disjointly Combined

Benjamin Przybocki, Guilherme V. Toledo, Yoni Zohar

We study properties that allow first-order theories to be disjointly combined, including stable infiniteness, shininess, strong politeness, and gentleness. Specifically, we describ…

Optimal and Efficient Partite Decompositions of Hypergraphs

Andrew Krapivin, Benjamin Przybocki, Nicolás Sanhueza-Matamala +1

We study the problem of partitioning the edges of a -uniform hypergraph into a family of complete -partite hypergraphs (-cliques). We show that there is a partitio…

Shininess, strong politeness, and unicorns

Benjamin Przybocki, Guilherme V. Toledo, Yoni Zohar

Shininess and strong politeness are properties related to theory combination procedures. In a paper titled "Many-sorted equivalence of shiny and strongly polite theories", Casal an…

Being polite is not enough (and other limits of theory combination)

Guilherme V. Toledo, Benjamin Przybocki, Yoni Zohar

In the Nelson-Oppen combination method for satisfiability modulo theories, the combined theories must be stably infinite; in gentle combination, one theory has to be gentle, and th…

The termination of Nielsen transformations applied to word equations with length constraints

Benjamin Przybocki, Clark Barrett

Nielsen transformations form the basis of a simple and widely used procedure for solving word equations. We make progress on the problem of determining when this procedure terminat…

The nonexistence of unicorns and many-sorted Löwenheim-Skolem theorems

Benjamin Przybocki, Guilherme Toledo, Yoni Zohar +1

Stable infiniteness, strong finite witnessability, and smoothness are model-theoretic properties relevant to theory combination in satisfiability modulo theories. Theories that are…

Bender-Knuth involutions on linear extensions of posets

Judy Hsin-Hui Chiang, Anh Trong Nam Hoang, Matthew Kendall +4

We study the permutation group generated by Bender-Knuth moves on linear extensions of a poset , an analog of the Berenstein-Kirillov group on column-strict tab…

The maximum hook length of -distinct simultaneous core partitions

Ethan Pesikoff, Benjamin Przybocki, Janabel Xia

We exactly determine the maximum possible hook length of -core partitions with -distinct parts when there are finitely many such partitions. Moreover, we provide an algor…

Lengths of Irreducible and Delicate Words

Benjamin Przybocki

We study words that barely avoid repetitions, for several senses of "barely". A squarefree (respectively, overlap-free, cubefree) word is irreducible if removing any one of its int…

Hat Guessing on Books and Windmills

Xiaoyu He, Yuzu Ido, Benjamin Przybocki

The hat-guessing number is a graph invariant defined by Butler, Hajiaghayi, Kleinberg, and Leighton. We determine the hat-guessing number exactly for book graphs with sufficiently…
