Abstract

This paper introduces a new efficient satisfiability problem (SAT) solver, negative-literal
Van der Waerden numbers SAT solver (NegVanSAT). It is a modification of the
well-known SAT solver MINISAT where the constructor of the literals has been adjusted
to start with the negated literals first. It reduces the calculations needed to solve a
problem. The NegVanSAT is specifically designed for solving the satisfiability problem
of finding Van der Waerden numbers, which are known to be very difficult to compute.
Comparisons between the MINISAT and the proposed NegVanSAT show that the latter
outperforms the MINISAT in finding many of them.
