We present a general framework for approximating several NP-hard problems that have two underlying properties in common. First, the problems we consider can be formulated as intege...
We consider the problem of higher-order matching restricted et of linear -terms (i.e., -terms where each abstraction x. M is such that there is exactly one free occurrence of x in ...
Abstract. The general intractability of the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) has motivated the study of the complexity of restricted cases of this problem. Thus far, the liter...
: In this paper we present several algorithmic techniques for inferring the structure of a company when only a limited amount of information is available. We consider problems with...
In connection with machine arithmetic, we are interested in systems of constraints of the form x + k y + k . Over integers, the satisfiability problem for such systems is polynomi...
