Combinatorial covering arrays have been used in several testing approaches. This paper first discusses some existing methods for finding such arrays. Then a SAT-based approach a...
: Let (C1, C1), (C2, C2), . . . , (Cm, Cm) be a sequence of ordered pairs of 2CNF clauses chosen uniformly at random (with repetition) from the set of all 4 n 2 clauses on n variab...
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...
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 detect unso...
Abstract. In recent years we have seen an increasing interest in combining constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) formulations and linear programming (LP) based techniques for solvi...
