Contraction and Treewidth Lower Bounds
Edge contraction is shown to be a useful mechanism to improve lower bound heuristics for treewidth. A successful lower bound for treewidth is the degeneracy: the maximum over all ...

Constrainedness and Redundancy by Constraint Ordering
Abstract. In constraint satisfaction, a general rule is to tackle the hardest part of a search problem first. In this paper, we introduce a parameter (τ) that measures the constr...

How to use the Scuba Diving metaphor to solve problem with neutrality ?
Abstract. We proposed a new search heuristic using the scuba diving metaphor. This approach is based on the concept of evolvability and tends to exploit neutrality which exists in ...
