CNF-BCP is a well-known propositional reasoner that extends clausal Boolean Constraint Propagation (BCP) to non-clausal theories. Although BCP has efficient linear-time implementa...
Using the parallel between the preframe and the suplattice approach to locale theory it is shown that the patch construction, as an action on topologies, is the same thing as the ...
We consider traveling salesman problems (TSPs) with a permuted Monge matrix as cost matrix where the associated patching graph has a specially simple structure: a multistar, a mult...

By using recent results from graph theory, including the Strong Perfect Graph Theorem, we obtain a unifying framework for a number of tractable classes of constraint problems. Thes...
Recent results have established that a variety of voting rules are computationally hard to manipulate in the worst-case; this arguably provides some guarantee of resistance to man...
