Abstract

We define Mv-formulas as the union of the subclassesof signed CNF formulas known as regular and monosignedCNF formulas, and then define resolution calculi that arerefutation complete for Mv-formulas and give new complexityresults for the Horn-SAT and 2-SAT problems. Ourgoal is to use Mv-formulas as a constraint programminglanguage between CSP and SAT, and solve computationallydifficult combinatorial problems with efficient satisfiabilitysolvers for Mv-formulas. The results presented in this paperprovide evidence that Mv-formulas are a problem modelinglanguage that offers a good compromise between complexityand expressive power.
