This paper presents a parameterized schema for interval constraint branching that (with suitable instantiations of the parameters) can solve interval constraint satisfaction probl...
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a general framework encompassing many optimisation problems. We discuss precisely what it means for a problem to be modelled in...
Abstract. We extend the common depth-first backtrack search for constraint satisfaction problems with randomized variable and value selection. The resulting methods are applied to ...
We study the complexity of evaluating positive equality-free sentences of first-order (FO) logic over fixed, finite structures B. This may be seen as a natural generalisation of th...
