Algorithms based on following local gradient information are surprisingly effective for certain classes of constraint satisfaction problems. Unfortunately, previous local search a...
A predicate P : {−1, 1}k → {0, 1} can be associated with a constraint satisfaction problem Max CSP(P). P is called “approximation resistant” if Max CSP(P) cannot be approxi...
The quantum analog of a constraint satisfaction problem is a sum of local Hamiltonians - each (term of the) Hamiltonian specifies a local constraint whose violation contributes to...

Abstract. Goldreich (ECCC 2000) proposed a candidate one-way function construction which is parameterized by the choice of a small predicate (over d = O(1) variables) and of a bipa...

The process of creating e-learning contents using reusable learning objects (LOs) can be broken down in two sub-processes: LOs finding and LO sequencing. Sequencing is usually per...
