Constraint satisfaction: a personal perspective
Attempts at classifying computational problems as polynomial time solvable, NP-complete, or belonging to a higher level in the polynomial hierarchy, face the difficulty of undecid...

The complexity of soft constraint satisfaction
Over the past few years there has been considerable progress in methods to systematically analyse the complexity of constraint satisfaction problems with specified constraint type...

Dualities in full homomorphisms
Abstract. In this paper we study dualities of graphs and, more generally, relational structures with respect to full homomorphisms, that is, mappings that are both edge- and non-ed...

Colouring, constraint satisfaction, and complexity
Constraint satisfaction problems have enjoyed much attention since the early seventies, and in the last decade have become also a focus of attention amongst theoreticians. Graph c...

An Efficient Algorithm for a Sharp Approximation of Universally Quantified Inequalities
This paper introduces a new algorithm for solving a subclass of quantified constraint satisfaction problems (QCSP) where existential quantifiers precede universally quantified ine...

A non-binary constraint ordering heuristic for constraint satisfaction problems
Abstract Nowadays many real problems can be modelled as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). A search algorithm for constraint programming requires an order in which variables ...

A Dichotomy Theorem for the Resolution Complexity of Random Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We consider random instances of constraint satisfaction problems where each variable has domain size O(1), each constraint is on O(1) variables and the constraints are chosen from...

An Algebraic Approach to Constraint Satisfaction Problems
A constraint satisfaction problem, or CSP, can be reformulated as an integer linear programming problem. The reformulated problem can be solved via polynomial multiplication. If t...

Experimental Evaluation of Preprocessing Techniques in Constraint Satisfaction Problems
This paper presents an evaluation of two orthogonal schemes for improving the efficiency of solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). The first scheme involves a class of p...

Some Applications of Graph Bandwidth to Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Bandwidth is a fundamental concept in graph theory which has some surprising applications to a class of AI search problems. Graph bandwidth provides a link between the syntactic s...
