This paper introduces a hybrid algorithm called as the HENSA-SAT for the large-scale Satisfiability (SAT) problems. The HENSA-SAT
is the hybrid of Evolutionary Negative Selection Algorithm (ENSA), the Flip Heuristic, the BackForwardFlipHeuristic procedure and the VerticalClimbing procedure. The Negative Selection (NS) is called twice for different purposes. One is used to make the search start in as
many different areas as possible. The other is used to restrict the times of calling the BackForwardFlipHeuristic for local search. The Flip Heuristic, the BackForwardFlipHeuristic procedure and the VerticalClimbing procedure are used to enhance the local search. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm is competitive with the
GASAT that is the state-of-the-art algorithm for the large-scale SAT problems.
