In a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP), the aim is to find an assignment of values to a given set of variables, subject to specified constraints. The CSP is known to be NP-complete in general. However, certain restrictions on the form of the allowed constraints can lead to problems solvable in polynomial time. Such restrictions are usually imposed by specifying a constraint language, that is, a set of relations that are allowed to be used as constraints. A principal research direction aims…

Constraint Satisfaction Parameterized by Solution Size

• Mathematics
SIAM J. Comput.
• 2014
In the case of constraint languages closed under substitution of constants, this paper gives a complete characterization of the fixed-parameter tractable cases of CSPs with size constraints, and shows that all the remaining problems are W[1]-hard.

Asking the Metaquestions in Constraint Tractability

• Computer Science
TOCT
• 2017
This article systematically studies—for various classes of polymorphisms—the computational complexity of deciding whether or not a given structure ℍ admits a polymorphism from the class, and proves the NP-completeness of deciding a condition conjectured to characterize the tractable problems CSP(ℍ).

Discovering Archipelagos of Tractability for Constraint Satisfaction and Counting

• Computer Science
SODA
• 2016
This article addresses the general limit of the mentioned tractability results for CSP and #CSP, that they only apply to instances where all constraints belong to a single tractable language (in general, the union of two tractable languages is not tractable).

The Complexity of General-Valued CSPs

• Computer Science
2015 IEEE 56th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science
• 2015
It is proved that if a constraint language satisfies this algebraic necessary condition for tractability of a general-valued CSP with a fixed constraint language, then the VCSP is tractable.

The Power of Linear Programming for Valued CSPs

2012 IEEE 53rd Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science
• 2012
This work obtains tractability of several novel and previously widely-open classes of VCSPs, including problems over valued constraint languages that are: sub modular on arbitrary lattices, bisubmodular on arbitrary finite domains, and weakly (and hence strongly) tree-sub modular on arbitrarily trees.

Testing the complexity of a valued CSP language

It is proved that for any constant $\delta<1$ there is no $O(\sqrt[3]{3}^{\,\delta|D|})$ algorithm, assuming that SETH holds, and a matching lower bound under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis is obtained.

Tractable Hypergraph Properties for Constraint Satisfaction and Conjunctive Queries

• D. Marx
• Computer Science, Mathematics

• 2013
The goal is to characterize those classes of hypergraphs for which CSP(H) is polynomial-time solvable or fixed-parameter tractable, parameterized by the number of variables, and to prove via a series of combinatorial results that if a hypergraph H has large submodular width, then a 3SAT instance can be efficiently simulated by a CSP instance whose hypergraph is H.

Harnessing tractability in constraint satisfaction problems

This thesis attempts to bridge the gap between practitioners and theorists of CSP by providing polynomial-time algorithms to test for membership in a selection of major tractable classes, and proposes a general framework to adapt the concept of kernelization, central to parameterized complexity but hitherto rarely used in practice, to the context of constraint reasoning.

Time Complexity of Constraint Satisfaction via Universal Algebra

The worst-case time complexity of NP-complete CSPs, where one is allowed to arbitrarily restrict the values of individual variables, is studied, and it is proved that the complexity of CSP({SD}) is a lower bound for all C SPs of this particular kind.

It is shown that any set of relations used to specify the allowed forms of constraints can be associated with a finite universal algebra and how the computational complexity of the corresponding constraint satisfaction problem is connected to the properties of this algebra is explored.
