An approximation algorithm for a constraint satisfaction problem is said to be nontrivial if its performance ratio is strictly superior to the expected performance of the algorith...
We study the best exponential decay in the blocklength of the probability of error that can be achieved in the transmission of a single bit over the Gaussian channel with an activ...
We formulate the problem of computing equilibria in multiplayer games represented by arbitrary undirected graphs as a constraint satisfaction problem and present two algorithms. T...

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...
Previous work (Frank and Satta, 1998; Karttunen, 1998) has shown that Optimality Theory with gradient constraints generally is not finite state. A new finite-state treatment of gr...
