The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...

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...
The goal of a fugitive-search game on a graph is to trap a fugitive that hides on the vertices of the graph by systematically placing searchers on the vertices. The fugitive is as...
