  4. 2. Beating a Random Assignment : Approximating Constraint Satisfaction Problems

    Author : Gustav Hast; Johan Håstad; Uri Zwick; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datalogi; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : An instance of a Boolean constraint satisfaction problem, CSP, consists of a set of constraints acting over a set of Boolean variables. The objective is to find an assignment to the variables that satisfies all the constraints. READ MORE

  5. 3. Constructing Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction and Related Problems : Methods and Applications

    Author : Ola Angelsmark; Peter Jonsson; Brahim Hnich; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; constraint satisfaction; CSP; graph problems; algorithm construction; computational complexity; microstructures; graph colouring; decision problems; optimisation problems; quantum computing; molecular computing; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we will discuss the construction of algorithms for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs), and describe two new ways of approaching them. Both approaches are based on the idea that it is sometimes faster to solve a large number of restricted problems than a single, large, problem. READ MORE

  6. 4. Label Cover Reductions for Unconditional Approximation Hardness of Constraint Satisfaction

    Author : Cenny Wenner; Johan Håstad; Viggo Kann; Irit Dinur; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Combinatorial Optimization; Complexity Theory; Approximation; Approximability; Inapproximability; Computational Hardness; NP; Optimization; Constraint Satisfaction; Kombinatorisk optimering; Komplexitetsteori; Beräkningsteori; Approximation; Approximerbarhet; Beräkningssvårighet; NP; Optimering; Vilkorssatisfiering; Vilkorsuppfyllning; Vilkorstillfredställand; datalogi; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Combinatorial optimization include such tasks as finding the quickest route to work, scheduling jobs to specialists, and placing bus stops so as to minimize commuter times. We consider problems where one is given a collection of constraints with the objective of finding an assignment satisfying as many constraints as possible, also known as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs).
