We present empirical evidence that the distribution of e ort required to solve CSPs randomly generated at the 50% satis able point, when using a backtracking algorithm, can be app...
Many backtracking algorithms exhibit heavy-tailed distributions, in which their running time is often much longer than their median. We analyze the behavior of two natural variant...
Abstract. Constraint satisfaction and propositional satisfiability problems are often solved using backtracking search. Previous studies have shown that a technique called randomi...
