Balance and Filtering in Structured Satisfiable Problems
New methods to generate hard random problem instances have driven progress on algorithms for deduction and constraint satisfaction. Recently Achlioptas et al. (AAAI 2000) introduc...

Unbiased Statistics of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem - a Controlled-Bias Generator
: We show that estimating the complexity (mean and distribution) of the instances of a fixed size Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) can be very hard. We deal with the main two ...

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...

The Impact of Balancing on Problem Hardness in a Highly Structured Domain
Random problem distributions have played a key role in the study and design of algorithms for constraint satisfaction and Boolean satisfiability, as well as in our understanding o...

In Search of the Best Constraint Satisfaction Search
We present the results of an empirical study of several constraint satisfaction search algorithms and heuristics. Using a random problem generator that allows us to create instanc...
