The at-most-k constraint is ubiquitous in combinatorial problems, and numerous SAT encodings are available for the constraint. Prior experiments have shown the competitiveness of the sequential-counter encoding for k $>$ 1, and have excluded the parallel-counter encoding, which is more compact that the binary-adder encoding, from consideration due to its incapability of enforcing arc consistency through unit propagation. This paper presents an experiment that shows astounding performance of the binary-adder encoding for the at-most-k constraint.

We present Bicoq3, a deep embedding of the B system in Coq, focusing on the technical aspects of the development. The main subjects discussed are related to the representation of sets and maps, the use of induction principles, and the introduction of
a new de Bruijn notation providing solutions to various problems related to the mechanisation of languages and logics.
In this paper we propose, implement, and test the first practical decomposition algorithms for the width parameters treecut width and treedepth. These two parameters have recently gained a lot of attention in the theoretical research community as the
y offer the algorithmic advantage over treewidth by supporting so-called fixed-parameter algorithms for certain problems that are not fixed-parameter tractable with respect to treewidth. However, the existing research has mostly been theoretical. A main obstacle for any practical or experimental use of these two width parameters is the lack of any practical or implemented algorithm for actually computing the associated decompositions. We address this obstacle by providing the first practical decomposition algorithms. Our approach for computing treecut width and treedepth decompositions is based on efficient encodings of these decomposition methods to the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT). Once an encoding is generated, any satisfiability solver can be used to find the decomposition. Moreover, we propose new characterisations for treecut width and treedepth that are based on sequences of partitions of the vertex set, a method that was pioneered for clique-width. We implemented and systematically tested our encodings on various benchmark instances, including famous named graphs and random graphs of various density. It turned out that for the considered width parameters, our partition-based SAT encoding even outperforms the best existing SAT encoding for treewidth.
Scaling issues are mundane yet irritating for practitioners of reinforcement learning. Error scales vary across domains, tasks, and stages of learning; sometimes by many orders of magnitude. This can be detrimental to learning speed and stability, cr
eate interference between learning tasks, and necessitate substantial tuning. We revisit this topic for agents based on temporal-difference learning, sketch out some desiderata and investigate scenarios where simple fixes fall short. The mechanism we propose requires neither tuning, clipping, nor adaptation. We validate its effectiveness and robustness on the suite of Atari games. Our scaling method turns out to be particularly helpful at mitigating interference, when training a shared neural network on multiple targets that differ in reward scale or discounting.
Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) models many important intractable NP-hard problems such as propositional satisfiability problem (SAT). Algorithms with non-trivial upper bounds on running time for restricted SAT with bounded clause length k (k
-SAT) can be classified into three styles: DPLL-like, PPSZ-like and Local Search, with local search algorithms having already been generalized to CSP with bounded constraint arity k (k-CSP). We generalize a DPLL-like algorithm in its simplest form and a PPSZ-like algorithm from k-SAT to k-CSP. As far as we know, this is the first attempt to use PPSZ-like strategy to solve k-CSP, and before little work has been focused on the DPLL-like or PPSZ-like strategies for k-CSP.
In latest years, several advancements have been made in symbolic-numerical eigenvalue techniques for solving polynomial systems. In this article, we add to this list by reducing the task to an eigenvalue problem in a considerably faster and simpler w
ay than in previous methods. This results in an algorithm which solves systems with isolated solutions in a reliable and efficient way, outperforming homotopy methods in overdetermined cases. We provide an implementation in the proof-of-concept Julia package EigenvalueSolver.jl.
