Abstract. Constructive methods obtain solutions to constraint satisfaction problem instances by iteratively extending consistent partial assignments. In this research, we study the...

Freuder in (1991) defined interchangeability for classical Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Recently (2002), we extended the definition of interchangeability to Soft CSP...
It is well known that any non-binary discrete constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) can be translated into an equivalent binary CSP. Two translations are known: the dual graph tra...
In this paper we derive a generic form of structural decomposition for the constraint satisfaction problem, which we call a guarded decomposition. We show that many existing decom...
We introduce symmetric Datalog, a syntactic restriction of linear Datalog and show that its expressive power is exactly that of restricted symmetric monotone Krom SNP. The deep re...
