Abstract The original Extremal Optimization (EO) algorithm and its modified versions have
been successfully applied to a variety of NP-hard optimization problems. However, almost …

Stochastic local search (SLS) is a popular paradigm in incomplete solving for the Boolean
satisfiability problem (SAT). Most SLS solvers for SAT switch between two modes, ie, the …
