Scuttle - A Multi-Objective MaxSAT Solver in Rust

Scuttle is a multi-objective MaxSAT solver written in Rust and based on the RustSAT library and the CaDiCaL SAT solver.

Publications

This solver was used in our CP'23 paper on preprocessing for multi-objective optimization [5] and our CPAIOR'24 paper on core boosting [6]. Additional material for the CP'23 paper can be found here while material for the CPAIOR'24 paper is available in the cpaior24/ directory in this repository.

Algorithms

First argument Description
p-minimal P-Minimal model enumeration as described in [1] and [2]
lower-bounding Lower-bounding search as described in [3] (called "core-guiding" there)
bioptsat Sat-Unsat variant of the BiOptSat algorithm described in [4]

Building

If you simply want a binary of the solver, you can install it from crates.io by running cargo install scuttle --locked.

To build the project from source, you will need to clone RustSAT and MaxPre-rs within the same workspace directory as this repository.

workspace/
├── maxpre-rs/
├── rustsat/
└── scuttle/

You can then build scuttle by running cargo build within workspace/scuttle/.

What's The Name

Apparently "scuttle" is one of multiple term for a group of crabs, which seemed fitting for a multi-objective solver in Rust.
