Abstract. We introduce a new general polynomial-time constructionthe fibre construction- which reduces any constraint satisfaction problem CSP(H) to the constraint satisfaction pr...
We present algebraic conditions on constraint languages Γ that ensure the hardness of the constraint satisfaction problem CSP(Γ) for complexity classes L, NL, P, NP and ModpL. Th...
The PCP theorem [3, 2] says that every language in NP has a witness format that can be checked probabilistically by reading only a constant number of bits from the proof. The cele...
