Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DCSPs) provide a model to capture a broad range of cooperative multiagent problem solving settings. Researchers have generally propos...
Abstract. k-SAT is a fundamental constraint satisfaction problem. It involves S(m), the satisfaction set of the conjunction of m clauses, each clause a disjunction of k literals. T...
Abstract. The heavy-tailed phenomenon that characterises the runtime distributions of backtrack search procedures has received considerable attention over the past few years. Some ...
Factor analysis is a statistical technique for reducing the number of factors responsible for a matrix of correlations to a smaller number of factors that may reflect underlying va...
The class Max (r, 2)-CSP (or simply Max 2-CSP) consists of constraint satisfaction problems with at most two r-valued variables per clause. For instances with n variables and m bin...
