We study the complexity of constraint satisfaction problems involving global constraints, i.e., special-purpose constraints provided by a solver and represented implicitly by a parametrised algorithm. Such constraints are widely used;…
This paper considers the linear objective function optimization with respect to a more general class of bipolar fuzzy relational equations, where the fuzzy compositions are defined by an arbitrary continuous Archimedean t-norm. In addition,…
To any fixed, finite relational structure, $\mathbb{D}$, there is an associated decision problem, CSP$(\mathbb{D})$, which is a restricted version of the constraint satisfaction problem. In [8], the so called "algebraic approach" to the…
We consider optimization problems with a disjunctive structure of the constraints. Prominent examples of such problems are mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints or vanishing constraints. Based on the concepts of directional…
We study the phase diagram and the algorithmic hardness of the random `locked' constraint satisfaction problems, and compare them to the commonly studied 'non-locked' problems like satisfiability of boolean formulas or graph coloring. The…

Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition (DWD) is a classical algorithm for solving large-scale linear programs whose constraint matrix involves a set of independent blocks coupled with a set of linking rows. The algorithm decomposes such a model into a…
This paper presents a novel convex optimization-based method for finding the globally optimal solutions of a class of mixed-integer non-convex optimal control problems. We consider problems with non-convex constraints that restrict the…
This is the report-version of a mini-series of two articles on the foundations of satisfiability of conjunctive normal forms with non-boolean variables, to appear in Fundamenta Informaticae, 2011. These two parts are here bundled in one…
In this article, we provide a new algorithm for solving constraint satisfaction problems with Maltsev constraints, based on the new notion of Maltsev consistency.
In this article, we study the convergence of algorithms for solving monotone inclusions in the presence of adjoint mismatch. The adjoint mismatch arises when the adjoint of a linear operator is replaced by an approximation, due to…
The Degree Realization problem requires, given a sequence $d$ of $n$ positive integers, to decide whether there exists a graph whose degrees correspond to $d$, and to construct such a graph if it exists. A more challenging variant of the…
In classic robust optimization, it is assumed that a set of possible parameter realizations, the uncertainty set, is modeled in a previous step and part of the input. As recent work has shown, finding the most suitable uncertainty set is in…
In multiobjective optimization, most branch and bound algorithms provide the decision maker with the whole Pareto front, and then decision maker could select a single solution finally. However, if the number of objectives is large, the…
We re-examine a practical aspect of combinatorial fuzzy problems of various types, including search, counting, optimization, and decision problems. We are focused only on those fuzzy problems that take series of fuzzy input objects and…
Semidefinite programs (SDPs) can be solved in polynomial time by interior point methods. However, when the dimension of the problem gets large, interior point methods become impractical in terms of both computational time and memory…
Solutions to optimal control problems can be discontinuous, even if all the functionals defining the problem are smooth. This can cause difficulties when numerically computing solutions to these problems. While conventional numerical…
The stable allocation problem is a many-to-many generalization of the well-known stable marriage problem, where we seek a bipartite assignment between, say, jobs (of varying sizes) and machines (of varying capacities) that is "stable" based…
We consider the problem of minimizing a sum of non-convex functions over a compact domain, subject to linear inequality and equality constraints. Approximate solutions can be found by solving a convexified version of the problem, in which…
For many constraint satisfaction problems, the algorithm which chooses a random assignment achieves the best possible approximation ratio. For instance, a simple random assignment for {\sc Max-E3-Sat} allows 7/8-approximation and for every…
