Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) constitute a convenient way to capture many combinatorial problems. The general CSP is known to be NP-complete, but its complexity depends on...
The problem of deciding whether the edge-set of a given graph can be partitioned into at most k cliques is well known to be NP-complete. In this paper we investigate this problem ...
Abstract. We investigate the average-case complexity of decision problems for finitely generated groups, in particular the word and membership problems. Using our recent results on...

Competent Genetic Algorithms can efficiently address problems in which the linkage between variables is limited to a small order k. Problems with higher order dependencies can onl...

For the worst-case complexity measure, if P = NP, then P = OptP, i.e., all NP optimization problems are polynomial-time solvable. On the other hand, it is not clear whether a simi...
