We improve upon the best known upper and lower bounds on the sizes of minimal feedback vertex sets in butterflies. Also, we construct new feedback vertex sets in grids so that for...
Searching for optimal solutions to a problem using lower bounds obtained from a relaxation is a common idea in Heuristic Search and Planning. In SAT and CSPs, however, explicit rel...
We present a new method to compute upper bounds of the number of solutions of binary integer programming (BIP) problems. Given a BIP, we create a dynamic programming (DP) table for...

Abstract. We consider the problem of computing tractable approximations to CNF formulas, extending the approach of Selman and Kautz to compute the Horn-LUB to involve renaming of v...
—We present a new family of tight lower and upper bounds on the Gaussian Q-function Q(x). It is first shown that, for any x, the integrand ϕ(θ; x) of the Craig representation ...
