Solving Binary Constraint Satisfaction Problems Using Evolutionary Algorithms with an Adaptive Fitness Function
This paper presents a comparative study of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) for Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). We focus on EAs where fitness is based on penalization of cons...

Random subcubes as a toy model for constraint satisfaction problems
We present an exactly solvable random-subcube model inspired by the structure of hard constraint satisfaction and optimization problems. Our model reproduces the structure of the s...

Computability of Topological Pressure for Sofic Shifts with Applications in Statistical Physics
: The topological pressure of dynamical systems theory is examined from a computability theoretic point of view. It is shown that for sofic shift dynamical systems, the topological...

How many graphs are unions of k-cliques?
We study the number F[n; k] of n-vertex graphs that can be written as the edgeunion of k-vertex cliques. We obtain reasonably tight estimates for F[n; k] in the cases (i) k = n-o(...

Optimizing through Co-evolutionary Avalanches
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
