Abstract. Bucket elimination (BE) is an exact technique based on variable elimination, commonly used for solving constraint satisfaction problems. We consider the hybridization of ...
Nowadays, many real problems can be formalized as Distributed CSPs. A distributed constraint satisfaction problem (DisCSP) is a CSP in which variables and constraints are distribu...
We study the approximability of two natural Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: Horn satisfiability and exact hitting set. Under the Unique Games conjecture, we prove the fo...
Computational experiments are reported involving the concept of foreknowledge, an agent’s direct, unmediated and accurate, but possibly incomplete, awareness of its future includ...
Min Ones Constraint Satisfaction Problems, i.e., the task of finding a satisfying assignment with at most k true variables (Min Ones SAT(Γ)), can express a number of interesting ...
