Abstract: Research in algorithms for Boolean satisfiability (SAT) and their implementations [45, 41, 10] has recently outpaced benchmarking efforts. Most of the classic DIMACS benchmarks [21] can now be solved in seconds on commodity PCs. More recent benchmarks [54] take longer to solve due of their large size, but are still solved in minutes. Yet, small and difficult SAT instances must exist if P##NP. To this end, our work articulates SAT instances that are unusually difficult for their size, including... (Update)
