Min Ones Constraint Satisfaction Problems, i.e., the task of finding a satisfying assignment with at most k true variables (Min Ones SAT(Γ)), can express a number of interesting ...
Abstract. This work presents methods for processing a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) formulated by an expression-based language, before the CSP is presented to a stochastic ...
Abstract. Symmetry is a common feature of many combinatorial problems. Unfortunately eliminating all symmetry from a problem is often computationally intractable. This paper argues...
Many intractable problems such as NP-complete problems (provided P = NP) have easy subproblems. In contrast, we investigate the existence and the properties of inherently hard sub...
