With random inputs, certain decision problems undergo a “phase transition”. We prove similar behavior in an optimization context. Given a conjunctive normal form (CNF) formula...

Several works have shown that the covering test in relational learning exhibits a phase transition in its covering probability. It is argued that this phase transition dooms every...

We investigate the complexity of the outer face in arrangements of line segments of a fixed length in the plane, drawn uniformly at random within a square. We derive upper bounds ...

We implement a self-organized flocking behavior in a group of mobile robots and analyze its transition from an aligned state to an unaligned state. We briefly describe the robot an...

We study the quality of LP-based approximation methods for pure combinatorial problems. We found that the quality of the LPrelaxation is a direct function of the underlying constra...

An analysis for the phase transition in a random NK landscape model is given. For the fixed ratio model, NK(n, k, z), Gao and Culberson [17] showed that a random instance generat...
