We present a hybrid approach to Distributed Constraint Satisfaction which combines incomplete, fast, penalty-based local search with complete, slower systematic search. Thus, we pr...
We consider the problem of computing minimum geometric hitting sets in which, given a set of geometric objects and a set of points, the goal is to compute the smallest subset of p...
In this paper, we introduce DLS-MC, a new stochastic local search algorithm for the maximum clique problem. DLS-MC alternates between phases of iterative improvement, during which...
Local search is widely applied to satisfiable SAT problems, and on some problem classes outperforms backtrack search. An intriguing challenge posed by Selman, Kautz and McAlleste...
Abstract. It is a hotly researching topic to eliminate irrelevant variables from counterexample, to make it easier to be understood. K Ravi proposes a two-stages counterexample min...
