This paper proves that a wide class of local search algorithms extend as is to the fully dynamic setting with an adaptive adversary, achieving an amortized $\tilde{O}(1)$ number of local-search steps per update. A breakthrough by Moser…

We develop a framework for the rigorous analysis of focused stochastic local search algorithms. These are algorithms that search a state space by repeatedly selecting some constraint that is violated in the current state and moving to a…

The resampling algorithm of Moser \& Tardos is a powerful approach to develop constructive versions of the Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma (LLL). We generalize this to partial resampling: when a bad event holds, we resample an appropriately-random…
