We present a new heuristic approach for maximal constraint satisfaction of overconstrained problems (MAX-CSP). This approach is based on a formulation of CSP as an optimization pro...
The forward checking algorithm for solving constraint satisfaction problems is a popular and successful alternative to backtracking. However, its successhas largely been determined...
Abstract. We investigate the dynamic variable ordering (DVO) technique commonly used in conjunction with tree-search algorithms for solving constraint satisfaction problems. We fi...
We show that if a self-reducible set has polynomial-size circuits, then it is low for the probabilistic class ZPP(NP). As a consequence we get a deeper collapse of the polynomial-...
