The Importance of Symmetric Representation
- A representation for a set is defined to be symmetric if the space required for the representation of the set is the same as the space required for representation of the set'...

Improved algorithms for 3-coloring, 3-edge-coloring, and constraint satisfaction
We consider worst case time bounds for NP-complete problems including 3-SAT, 3-coloring, 3-edge-coloring, and 3list-coloring. Our algorithms are based on a constraint satisfaction...

On universally easy classes for NP-complete problems
We explore the natural question of whether all NP-complete problems have a common restriction under which they are polynomially solvable. More precisely, we study what languages a...

Solving 3CNF-SAT and HPP in Linear Time Using WWW
We propose linear time solutions to two much celebrated NP-complete problems, namely the 3CNF-SAT and the directed Hamiltonian Path Problem (HPP), based on AHNEPs having all resour...

Complexity Cores and Hard Problem Instances
Many intractable problems such as NP-complete problems (provided P = NP) have easy subproblems. In contrast, we investigate the existence and the properties of inherently hard sub...

Exact Algorithms for NP-Hard Problems: A Survey
We discuss fast exponential time solutions for NP-complete problems. We survey known results and approaches, we provide pointers to the literature, and we discuss several open prob...

Algorithmics in Exponential Time
Exponential algorithms, i.e. algorithms of complexity O(cn ) for some c > 1, seem to be unavoidable in the case of NP-complete problems (unless P=NP), especially if the problem ...

The Complexity of Valued Constraint Models
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a general framework encompassing many optimisation problems. We discuss precisely what it means for a problem to be modelled in...
