This paper introduces an adaptive heuristic-based evolution ary algorithm for the Satisfiability problem (SAT). The algo rithm uses information about the best solutions found in the recent past in order to dynamically adapt the search strat egy. Extensive experiments on standard benchmark prob lems for SAT are performed in order to asses the effectiveness of the proposed technique. The results of the experiments indicate th a t this technique is rather successful: it improves on previous
