An analysis for the phase transition in a random NK landscape model is given. For the fixed ratio model, NK(n, k, z), Gao and Culberson [17] showed that a random instance generat...
The stable semantics has become a prime candidate for knowledge representation and reasoning. The rules associated with propositional logic programs and the stable semantics are no...
