The Satisfiability Threshold for Randomly Generated Binary Constraint Satisfaction Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study two natural models of randomly generated constraint satisfaction problems. We determine how quickly the domain size must grow with n to ensure that these models are robust in the sense that they exhibit a non-trivial threshold of satisfiability, and we determine the asymptotic order of that threshold. We also provide resolution complexity lower bounds for these models. One of our results immediately yields a theorem regarding homomorphisms between two random graphs.

متن کاملImproving Repair-Based Constraint Satisfaction Methods by Value Propagation
A constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a problem to find an assignment that satisfies given constraints. An interesting approach to CSP is a repair-based method that first generates an initial assignment, then repairs it by minimizing the number of conflicts. Min-conflicts hill climbing (MCHC) and GSAT are typical examples of this approach. A serious problem with this approach is that it is...
متن کاملComparing Classical Methods for Solving Binary Constraint Satisfaction Problems with State of the Art Evolutionary Computation
Constraint Satisfaction Problems form a class of problems that are generally computationally difficult and have been addressed with many complete and heuristic algorithms. We present two complete algorithms, as well as two evolutionary algorithms, and compare them on randomly generated instances of binary constraint satisfaction problems. We find that the evolutionary algorithms are less effect...
متن کاملSharp thresholds for constraint satisfaction problems and homomorphisms
We determine under which conditions certain natural models of random constraint satisfaction problems have sharp thresholds of satisfiability. These models include graph and hypergraph homomorphism, the (d, k, t)-model, and binary constraint satisfaction problems with domain size 3.
