Abstract. This work considers the problem of approximating fixed predicate constraint satisfaction problems (MAX k-CSP(P)). We show that if the set of assignments accepted by P co...
We present an exact algorithm that decides, for every fixed r ≥ 2 in time O(m) + 2O(k2 ) whether a given multiset of m clauses of size r admits a truth assignment that satisfi...

We present in this paper a hybrid planning system which combines constraint satisfaction techniques and planning heuristics to produce optimal sequential plans. It integrates its ...
Bucket elimination is an algorithmic framework that generalizes dynamic programming to accommodate many problem-solving and reasoning tasks. Algorithms such as directional-resolut...
The Verilog hardware description language has padding semantics that allow designers to write descriptions where wires of different bit widths can be interconnected. However, many ...
