NAME

       anldp - implementation of Davis-Putnam propositional satisfiability procedure

SYNOPSIS

       anldp [options] < input-file > output-file

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the anldp command.

       anldp  is  an implementation of a Davis-Putnam procedure for the propositional satisfiability problem.  anldp exposes the procedure used by
       mace2(1) to determine satisfiability.  anldp can also take statements in first-order logic with equality and a domain size  n  then  search
       for models of size n. The first-order model-searching code transforms the statements into set of propositional clauses such that the first-
       order statements have a model of size n if and only if the propositional clauses are satisfiable. The propositional set is  then  given	to
       the  Davis-Putnam  code; any propositional models that are found can be translated to models of the first-order statements. The first-order
       model-searching program accepts statements only in a flattened relational clause form without function symbols.

OPTIONS

       -s     Perform subsumption. (Subsumption is always performed during unit preprocessing.)

       -p     Print models as they are found.

       -m n   Stop when the nth model is found.

       -t n   Stop after n seconds.

       -k n   Allocate at most n kbytes for storage of clauses.

       -x n   Quasigroup experiment n.

       -B file
	      Backup assignments to a file.

       -b n   Backup assignments every n seconds.

       -R file
	      Restore assignments from a file. The file typically contains just the last line of a backup file. Other  input,  in  particular  the
	      clauses, must be given exactly as in the original search.

       -n n   This option is used for first-order model searches. The parameter n specifies the domain size, and its presence tells the program to
	      read first-order flattened relational input clauses instead of propositional clauses.
