Abstract. Refutation proofs can be viewed as a special case of constraint propagation, which is a fundamental technique in solving constraint-satisfaction problems. The generalizat...

We have started a systematic study of global constraints on set and multiset variables. We consider here disjoint, partition, and intersection constraints in conjunction with cardi...
Abstract. Much progress has been made in terms of boosting the effectiveness of backtrack style search methods. In addition, during the last decade, a much better understanding of ...
Many backtracking algorithms exhibit heavy-tailed distributions, in which their running time is often much longer than their median. We analyze the behavior of two natural variant...
It is well known that the ratio of the number of clauses to the number of variables in a random k-SAT instance is highly correlated with the instance’s empirical hardness. We con...
