Retractions to Pseudoforests
For a fixed graph H, let Ret(H) denote the problem of deciding whether a given input graph is retractable to H. We classify the complexity of Ret(H) when H is a graph (with loops ...

A Multi-stage Graph Decomposition Algorithm for Distributed Constraint Optimisation
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to solving the distributed constraint optimisation problem (DCOP) that guarantees completeness, while having linear communication comple...

The Complexity of Positive First-Order Logic without Equality II: The Four-Element Case
We study the complexity of evaluating positive equality-free sentences of first-order (FO) logic over fixed, finite structures B. This may be seen as a natural generalisation of th...

Evolutionary Transitions as a Metaphor for Evolutionary Optimisation
Abstract. This paper proposes a computational model for solving optimisation problems that mimics the principle of evolutionary transitions in individual complexity. More specific...
