An approximation algorithm for a constraint satisfaction problem is said to be nontrivial if its performance ratio is strictly superior to the expected performance of the algorith...
We show that stratified context unification, which is one of the most expressive fragments of context unification known to be decidable, is equivalent to the satisfiability proble...
Symmetry in constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) has been considered in two fundamentally different ways: as an operation preserving the solutions of a CSP instance, or as an o...
