pindakaas 0.4.0

Boolean satisfiability (SAT) library with efficient encoding of complex constraints and solver interaction

A library to transform pseudo-Boolean and integer constraints into conjunctive normal form.

Supported Constraints

• At most one (AMO)
  • Bitwise encoding
  • Ladder encoding
  • Pairwise encoding
• Cardinality constraints
  • Sorting Network encoding
• Boolean linear
  • Adder encoding
  • BDD encoding
  • Sequential Weight Counter encoding
  • Totalizer encoding
• Integer (linear)
  • Direct / Domain / Unary encoding
  • Order encoding
  • Binary encoding
