The problem of counting specified combinations of a given set of variables arises in many statistical and data mining applications. To solve this problem, we introduce the PDtree...

We define a fundamental domain for a linear programming relaxation of a combinatorial integer program which is symmetric under a group action. We then describe a straightforward w...
It is widely assumed and observed in experiments that the use of diversity mechanisms in evolutionary algorithms may have a great impact on its running time. Up to now there is no...
Many problems of theoretical and practical interest can be formulated as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). The general CSP is known to be NP-complete; however, distributed m...

Abstract. This paper discusses an NP-complete constraint satisfaction problem which appears to share many of the threshold characteristics of SAT but is similar to XOR-SAT and so i...
