We introduce tractable classes of VCSP instances based on convex cost functions. Firstly, we show that the class of VCSP instances satisfying the hierarchically nested convexity pr...
Much attention has been given in recent years to the problem of finding Minimally Unsatisfiable Subformulas (MUSes) of Boolean formulas. In this paper, we present a new view of the...
: A local search algorithm operating on an instance of a Boolean constraint satisfaction problem (in particular, k-SAT) can be viewed as a stochastic process traversing successive ...
We present an exact algorithm that decides, for every fixed r ≥ 2 in time O(m) + 2O(k2 ) whether a given multiset of m clauses of size r admits a truth assignment that satisfi...
