Using the Breakout Algorithm to Identify Hard and Unsolvable Subproblems
Abstract. Local search algorithms have been very successful for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). However, a major weakness has been that local search is unable to de...

Heavy-Tailed Phenomena in Satisfiability and Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We study the runtime distributions of backtrack procedures for propositional satisfiability and constraint satisfaction. Such procedures often exhibit a large variability in perfor...

Polynomial integrality gaps for strong SDP relaxations of Densest k-subgraph
The Densest k-subgraph problem (i.e. find a size k subgraph with maximum number of edges), is one of the notorious problems in approximation algorithms. There is a significant g...

Distributed Partial Constraint Satisfaction Problem
Many problems in multi-agent systems can be described as distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (distributed CSPs), where the goal is to nd a set of assignments to variables ...

A conflict based SAW method for Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Evolutionary algorithms have employed the SAW (Stepwise Adaptation of Weights) method in order to solve CSPs (Constraint Satisfaction Problems). This method originated in hill-clim...
