We investigate structural implications arising from the condition that a given directed graph
does not interpret, in the sense of primitive positive interpretation with parameters or orbits …

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

On the descriptive complexity of temporal constraint satisfaction problems

M Bodirsky, J Rydval - Journal of the ACM, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Finite-domain constraint satisfaction problems are either solvable by Datalog or not even
