We study a model of constraint satisfaction problems geared towards instances with few variables but with domain of unbounded size (udCSP). Our model is inspired by recent work on FPT algorithms for MinCSP where frequently both upper and…

Constraint satisfaction (CSP) and structure isomorphism (SI) are among the most well-studied computational problems in Computer Science. While neither problem is thought to be in $\texttt{PTIME},$ much work is done on $\texttt{PTIME}$…

A relational database is said to be uncertain if primary key constraints can possibly be violated. A repair (or possible world) of an uncertain database is obtained by selecting a maximal number of tuples without ever selecting two distinct…

The field of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) studies homomorphism problems between relational structures where the target structure is fixed. Classifying the complexity of these problems has been a central quest of the field,…

We give a trichotomy theorem for the complexity of approximately counting the number of satisfying assignments of a Boolean CSP instance. Such problems are parameterised by a constraint language specifying the relations that may be used in…

The constraint satisfaction problem asks to decide if a set of constraints over a relational structure $\mathcal{A}$ is satisfiable (CSP$(\mathcal{A})$). We consider CSP$(\mathcal{A} \cup \mathcal{B})$ where $\mathcal{A}$ is a structure and…

The 1-in-3 and Not-All-Equal satisfiability problems for Boolean CNF formulas are two well-known NP-hard problems. In contrast, the promise 1-in-3 vs. Not-All-Equal problem can be solved in polynomial time. In the present work, we…

Given a connected graph $G$ and a terminal set $R \subseteq V(G)$, the minimum Steiner tree problem (ST) asks for a tree that spans all of $R$ with at most $r$ vertices from $V(G)\backslash R$, for some integer $r\geq 0$. A \emph{split…

We study the data complexity of consistent query answering (CQA) on databases that may violate the primary key constraints. A repair is a maximal consistent subset of the database. For a Boolean query $q$, the problem…

Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is a framework for modeling and solving a variety of real-world problems. Once the problem is expressed as a finite set of constraints, the goal is to find the variables' values satisfying them. Even…

We prove complexity dichotomies for \#CSP problems (not necessarily symmetric) with Boolean domain and complex range on several typical minor-closed graph classes. These dichotomies give a complete characterization of the complexity of…
