Analyzing Walksat on random formulas
Let Φ be a uniformly distributed random k-SAT formula with n variables and m clauses. We prove that the Walksat algorithm from [16, 17] finds a satisfying assignment of Φ in pol...

Stochastic Local Search Algorithms for Graph Set T -colouring and Frequency Assignment
The graph set T-colouring problem (GSTCP) generalises the classical graph colouring problem; it asks for the assignment of sets of integers to the vertices of a graph such that co...

Precision, local search and unimodal functions
We investigate the effects of precision on the efficiency of various local search algorithms on 1-D unimodal functions. We present a (1 + 1)-EA with adaptive step size which fin...

The Scaling of Search Cost
We show that a resealed constrainedness parameter provides the basis for accurate numerical models of search cost for both backtracking and local search algorithms. In the past, t...

Evolving Local Search Heuristics for SAT Using Genetic Programming
Satisfiability testing (SAT) is a very active area of research today, with numerous real-world applications. We describe CLASS2.0, a genetic programming system for semi-automatica...

Viz: a visual analysis suite for explaining local search behavior
NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems are common in real life. Due to their intractability, local search algorithms are often used to solve such problems. Since these algori...
