Abstract

Survey Propagation is an algorithm designed for solving typical instances of random constraint satisfiability problems. It has been successfully tested on random 3-SAT and random G(n,cn)G(n,\frac{c}{n}) graph 3-coloring, in the hard region of the parameter space. Here we provide a generic formalism which applies to a wide class of discrete Constraint Satisfaction Problems.
