Exponential algorithms, i.e. algorithms of complexity O(cn ) for some c > 1, seem to be unavoidable in the case of NP-complete problems (unless P=NP), especially if the problem ...
Abstract. Due to its prominence in artificial intelligence and theoretical computer science, the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT) has received considerable attention in...
Two classic “phase transitions” in discrete mathematics are the emergence of a giant component in a random graph as the density of edges increases, and the transition of a rand...
