A Study of Tabu Search for Coloring Random 3-Colorable Graphs Around the Phase Transition
We present an experimental investigation of tabu search (TS) to solve the 3-coloring problem (3-COL). Computational results reveal that a basic TS algorithm is able to find proper ...

Computing the Density of States of Boolean Formulas
Abstract. In this paper we consider the problem of computing the density of states of a Boolean formula in CNF, a generalization of both MAX-SAT and model counting. Given a Boolean...

Ruling Out Polynomial-Time Approximation Schemes for Hard Constraint Satisfaction Problems
The maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max CSP) is the following computational problem: an instance is a finite collection of constraints on a set of variables, and the goal...
