Donald Knuth recently released the latest chapter of 'The Art of Computer Programming' and decided to tackle the topic of Satisfiability & SAT solvers ( @ https://www.amazon.com/Art-Computer-Programming-Fascicle-Satisfiability/dp/0134397606 https://www.amazon.com/Art-Computer-Programming-Fascicle-Sat... ). Although he refers to algorithms in an vague way (using words like "Algorithm A" or "Algorithm J") and makes a determined effort to convey all information in the most mathematically precise way possible, I'm of the view that it's the finest work of it's kind on this topic. Having a section on something like 'random restarts' is great, but if you are already deep enough to have an interest in a paper like this, you are deep enough to learn about Luby sequences.
