Classifying the complexity of constraints using finite algebras

A Bulatov, P Jeavons, A Krokhin - SIAM journal on computing, 2005 - SIAM
Many natural combinatorial problems can be expressed as constraint satisfaction problems.
This class of problems is known to be NP-complete in general, but certain restrictions on the …

A dichotomy theorem for constraint satisfaction problems on a 3-element set

AA Bulatov - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 2006 - dl.acm.org
The Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) provides a common framework for many
combinatorial problems. The general CSP is known to be NP-complete; however, certain …

Omitting types, bounded width and the ability to count

B Larose, M Valeriote, L Zádori - International Journal of Algebra …, 2009 - World Scientific
We say that a finite algebra 𝔸=〈 A; F〉 has the ability to count if there are subalgebras C of
𝔸3 and Z of 𝔸 such that the structure〈 A; C, Z〉 has the ability to count in the sense of Feder …

Graphs of finite algebras: edges, and connectivity

AA Bulatov - Algebra universalis, 2024 - Springer
We refine and advance the study of the local structure of idempotent finite algebras started in
Bulatov (LICS, 2004). We introduce a graph-like structure on an arbitrary finite idempotent …

Subquasivarieties of regularized varieties

C Bergman, A Romanowska - Algebra Universalis, 1996 - Springer
This paper considers the lattice of subquasivarieties of a regular variety. In particular we
show that if V is a strongly irregular variety that is minimal as a quasivariety, then the …

Concatenation of regular languages and descriptional complexity

We investigate the deterministic and nondeterministic state complexity of languages
resulting from the concatenation of two regular languages represented by deterministic and …
