Abstract. Researchers have focused on assessing the quality of search algorithms by measuring effort, number of mistakes, runtime distributions and other characteristics. In this p...
Abstract. This paper discusses an NP-complete constraint satisfaction problem which appears to share many of the threshold characteristics of SAT but is similar to XOR-SAT and so i...
We present a simple probabilistic algorithm for solving kSAT, and more generally, for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). The algorithm follows a simple localsearch pa...
We study the runtime distributions of backtrack procedures for propositional satisfiability and constraint satisfaction. Such procedures often exhibit a large variability in perfor...

Bandwidth is a fundamental concept in graph theory which has some surprising applications to a class of AI search problems. Graph bandwidth provides a link between the syntactic s...
