Title: A Study of Parallel Continuous Local Search

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.06656v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study parallel Continuous Local Search (CLS) as a solution approach for Boolean satisfiability problems with symmetric pseudo-Boolean (PB) constraints. Here, the $n$-variable PB-satisfiability problem is relaxed to a continuous optimisation problem with a differentiable objective function on an $n$-dimensional hypercube. For satisfiable instances, the global minimisers of this optimisation problem correspond to satisfying assignments of the SAT
