A famous result due to Ko and Friedman (1982) asserts that the problems of integration and maximisation of a univariate real function are computationally hard in a well-defined sense. Yet, both functionals are routinely computed at great…

A $H$-partition of a finite undirected simple graph $G$ is a labeling of $G$'s vertices such that the constraints expressed by the model graph $H$ are satisfied. For every model graph $H$, it can be decided in non-deterministic polynomial…
