The standard Erd˝os-Renyi model of random graphs begins with n isolated vertices, and at each round a random edge is added. Parametrizing n 2 rounds as one time unit, a phase tra...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Boolean satisfiability (SAT) is the canonical NP-complete problem that plays an important role in AI and has many practical applications in Computer Science in general. Boolean n...
In this paper, we study the possibility of designing non-trivial random CSP models by exploiting the intrinsic connection between structures and typical-case hardness. We show tha...
An analysis of the SAT 2005 sub-competition on random instances is given. This year this (sub-)competition set-up was geared to establish a basic setting, focusing on the instance...
