6.2.1 Automatic Sequence Generation: GTnSeq1UIP

Since there is exactly one, well defined, unsatisfiable GT formula for a fixed parameter n, the approximate branching sequence given in Figure 5 below is straightforward. However, the fact that the same branching sequence works well for the satisfiable version of the GTn formulas, obtained by deleting a randomly chosen successor clause, is worth noting.

Figure 5: Approximate branching sequence for GTn formulas. The sequence goes left to right along row 1, then along row 2, and so on. Entries marked `-' correspond to non-existent variables xi, i.
