top: devote an own paragraph to DPLL, as it is the best algorithm as of today

** remove all original clauses containing the variable or its negation
 
At each step, the intermediate formula generated is [[equisatisfiable]] to the original formula, but it does not retain [[Logical equivalence|equivalence]]. The resolution step leads to a worst-case exponential blow-up in the size of the formula.

The [[DPLLDavis–Putnam–Logemann–Loveland algorithm]] is a 1962 refinement of the propositional satisfiability step of the Davis–Putnam procedure, thatwhich requires only a linear amount of memory in the worst case. It still forms the basis for today's (as of 2015) most efficient complete [[SAT solver]]s.
