Popis: We prove that CDCL SAT-solvers with the ordered decision strategy and the DECISION learning scheme are equivalent to ordered resolution. We also prove that, by replacing this learning scheme with its opposite, which learns the first possible non-conflict clause, they become equivalent to general resolution. In both results, we allow nondeterminism in the solver’s ability to perform unit propagation, conflict analysis, and restarts in a way that is similar to previous works in the literature. To aid the presentation of our results, and possibly future research, we define a model and language for CDCL-based proof systems – particularly those with nonstandard features – that allow for succinct and precise theorem statements.
