We study the complexity of the model checking problem, for fixed models A, over certain fragments L of first-order logic, obtained by restricting which of the quantifiers and boole...
Many problems can be expressed in terms of a numeric constraint satisfaction problem over finite or continuous domains (numeric CSP). The purpose of this paper is to show that the...
Nonlinear constraint systems can be solved by combining consistency techniques and search. In this approach, the search space is reduced using local reasoning on constraints. Howev...
This paper describes a hybrid approach to solving large-scale constraint satisfaction and optimization problems. It describes a hybrid algorithm for integer linear programming whic...
Attempts at classifying computational problems as polynomial time solvable, NP-complete, or belonging to a higher level in the polynomial hierarchy, face the difficulty of undecid...
