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. In this paper, we propose a general framework for designing fully polynomial time approximation schemes for combinatorial optimization problems, in which more than one ob...
Where do contracts — specification elements embedded in executable code — come from? To produce them, should we rely on the programmers, on automatic tools, or some combinati...
We prove an exponential lower bound for the length of any resolution proof for the same set of clauses as the one used by Urquhart [13]. Our contribution is a significant simpli...
Induction of recursive theories in the normal ILP setting is a complex task because of the non-monotonicity of the consistency property. In this paper we propose computational solu...
