Tractability in constraint satisfaction problems: a survey

C Carbonnel, MC Cooper - Constraints, 2016 - Springer
Abstract Even though the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is NP-complete, many
tractable classes of CSP instances have been identified. After discussing different forms and …

An algorithmic blend of LPs and ring equations for promise CSPs

J Brakensiek, V Guruswami - Proceedings of the Thirtieth Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2019 - SIAM
Promise CSPs are a relaxation of constraint satisfaction problems where the goal is to find
an assignment satisfying a relaxed version of the constraints. Several well known problems …
