Hierarchies of minion tests for PCSPs through tensors

L Ciardo, S Živný - Proceedings of the 2023 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2023 - SIAM
We provide a unified framework to study hierarchies of relaxations for Constraint Satisfaction
Problems and their Promise variant. The idea is to split the description of a hierarchy into an …

setting is that a complexity classification for the CSPs of first-order expansions of a structure …

Current challenges in infinite-domain constraint satisfaction: Dilemmas of the infinite sheep

M Pinsker - 2022 IEEE 52nd International Symposium on …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is a computational problem where we are given

For a fixed finite set of finite tournaments ${\mathcal F} $, the ${\mathcal F} $-free orientation
problem asks whether a given finite undirected graph $ G $ has an $\mathcal F $-free …

The Sherali-Adams Hierarchy for Promise CSPs through Tensors

L Ciardo, S Živný - arXiv preprint arXiv:2203.02478, 2022 - arxiv.org
We study the Sherali-Adams linear programming hierarchy in the context of promise

When symmetries are enough: collapsing the bounded width hierarchy for infinite-domain CSPs

A Mottet, T Nagy, M Pinsker, M Wrona - arXiv preprint arXiv:2102.07531, 2021 - arxiv.org
We prove that relational structures admitting specific polymorphisms (namely, canonical
pseudo-WNU operations of all arities $ n\geq 3$) have low relational width. This implies a …
