For a fixed graph H, let Ret(H) denote the problem of deciding whether a given input graph is retractable to H. We classify the complexity of Ret(H) when H is a graph (with loops ...
Abstract. We introduce a new general polynomial-time constructionthe fibre construction- which reduces any constraint satisfaction problem CSP(H) to the constraint satisfaction pr...
University Course Timetabling-Problems (UCTPs) involve the allocation of resources (such as rooms and timeslots) to all the events of a university, satisfying a set of hard-constra...
Harmonization with four voices is a musical problem which is subject to hard constraints, which absolutely need to be fulfilled, as well as to soft constraints, which preferably ho...
We study the approximability of the maximum solution problem. This problem is an optimisation variant of the constraint satisfaction problem and it captures a wide range of interes...
