A Memetic Algorithm with Bucket Elimination for the Still Life Problem
Abstract. Bucket elimination (BE) is an exact technique based on variable elimination, commonly used for solving constraint satisfaction problems. We consider the hybridization of ...

An LP-Designed Algorithm for Constraint Satisfaction
The class Max (r, 2)-CSP consists of constraint satisfaction problems with at most two r-valued variables per clause. For instances with n variables and m binary clauses, we presen...

Efficient Recognition of Acyclic Clustered Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Abstract. In this paper we present a novel approach to solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems whose constraint graphs are highly clustered and the graph of clusters is close to b...

A Totally Unimodular Description of the Consistent Value Polytope for Binary Constraint Programming
Abstract. We present a theoretical study on the idea of using mathematical programming relaxations for filtering binary constraint satisfaction problems. We introduce the consisten...

Affine Systems of Equations and Counting Infinitary Logic
We study the definability of constraint satisfaction problems (CSP) in various fixed-point and infinitary logics. We show that testing the solvability of systems of equations over...

Performance testing of combinatorial solvers with isomorph class instances
Combinatorial optimization problems expressed as Boolean constraint satisfaction problems (BCSPs) arise in several contexts, ranging from the classical unate set-packing problems ...
