Impurity: Another Phase Transition of SAT
It is well known that satisfiability of random sets of propositional clauses undergoes phase transition while the clause-to-variable ratio of the sets increases. We introduce anot...

On the connection between the phase transition of the covering test and the learning success rate in ILP
It is well-known that heuristic search in ILP is prone to plateau phenomena. An explanation can be given after the work of Giordana and Saitta: the ILP covering test is NP-complete...

A note on phase transitions and computational pitfalls of learning from sequences
An ever greater range of applications call for learning from sequences. Grammar induction is one prominent tool for sequence learning, it is therefore important to know its proper...

Birth control for giants
The standard Erd˝os-Renyi model of random graphs begins with n isolated vertices, and at each round a random edge is added. Parametrizing n 2 rounds as one time unit, a phase tra...

Predicting the Impact of Measures Against P2P Networks on the Transient Behaviors
The paper has two objectives. The first is to study rigorously the transient behavior of some P2P networks where information is replicated and disseminated according to an epidemic...

Component structure induced by a random walk on a random graph
We consider random walks on two classes of random graphs and explore the likely structure of the vacant set viz. the set of unvisited vertices. Let (t) be the subgraph induced by ...

Is Computational Complexity a Barrier to Manipulation?
When agents are acting together, they may need a simple mechanism to decide on joint actions. One possibility is to have the agents express their preferences in the form of a ballo...

Complexity of Max-SAT using stochastic algorithms
Hill-climbing has been shown to be more effective than exhaustive search in solving satisfiability problems.Also, it has been used either by itself or in combination with other ...

A Statistical Theory of Sequence Alignment with Gaps
Astatistical theory of local alignmentalgorithms with gaps is presented. Both the linear and logarithmic phases, as well as the phase transition separating the two phases, are des...

The Scaling of Search Cost
We show that a resealed constrainedness parameter provides the basis for accurate numerical models of search cost for both backtracking and local search algorithms. In the past, t...
