What are the four states a clause may occupy during a search?

  • A.Satisfied, conflicting, unit and undetermined
  • B.Asserted, derived, learned and forgotten by the solver
  • C.Original, resolved, subsumed and deleted from the set
  • D.Positive, negative, mixed and empty of any literals

Answer: A

Tracking whether a clause is already true, already false, forcing a single assignment or still open is exactly what the solver's data structures maintain, and doing so efficiently with watched literals is a large part of a modern implementation's speed. The other lists describe clause origins, resolution operations and literal polarities. Reducing a data structure's job to four states, and then implementing the transitions efficiently, is how a conceptually simple algorithm becomes a fast one.
