Multiagent Constraint Satisfaction with Multiply Sectioned Constraint Networks
Abstract. Variables and constraints in problem domains are often distributed. These distributed constraint satisfaction problems (DCSPs) lend themselves to multiagent solutions. Mo...

Constraint Satisfaction with Succinctly Specified Relations
Abstract. The general intractability of the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) has motivated the study of the complexity of restricted cases of this problem. Thus far, the liter...

Complexity of Existential Positive First-Order Logic
Let Γ be a (not necessarily finite) structure with a finite relational signature. We prove that deciding whether a given existential positive sentence holds in Γ is in LOGSPACE...

A Comparison of the Notions of Optimality in Soft Constraints and Graphical Games
The notion of optimality naturally arises in many areas of applied mathematics and computer science concerned with decision making. Here we consider this notion in the context of ...

Constraint Satisfaction over Connected Row Convex Constraints
This paper studies constraint satisfaction over connected row-convex (CRC) constraints. It shows that CRC constraints are closed under composition, intersection, and transposition...
