Abstract. We define an abstract pebble game that provides game interpretations for essentially all known consistency algorithms for constraint satisfaction problems including arc-...
We present a simple probabilistic algorithm for solving kSAT, and more generally, for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). The algorithm follows a simple localsearch pa...
Abstract. SAT Modulo Theories (SMT) consists of deciding the satisfiability of a formula with respect to a decidable background theory, such as linear integer arithmetic, bit-vect...
A distributed constraint satisfaction problem (Distributed CSP) is a CSP in which variables and constraints are distributed among multiple automated agents, and various application...
Learning during backtrack search is a space-intensive process that records information (such as additional constraints) in order to avoid redundant work. In this paper, we analyze...
