In a common formulation of semi-infinite programs, the infinite constraint set is a requirement that a function parametrized by the decision variables is nonnegative over an interval. If this function is sufficiently closely approximable by…
Consider a convex set S defined by a matrix inequality of polynomials or rational functions over a domain. The set S is called semidefinite programming (SDP) representable or just semidefinite representable if it equals the projection of a…
Distributed Constraint Satisfaction (DCSP) has long been considered an important problem in multi-agent systems research. This is because many real-world problems can be represented as constraint satisfaction and these problems often…

The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) of a first-order theory T is the computational problem of deciding whether a given conjunction of atomic formulas is satisfiable in some model of T. We study the computational complexity of CSP$(T_1…
In this work, we focus on the Partial Constraint Satisfaction Problem (PCSP) over control-flow graphs (CFGs) of programs. PCSP serves as a generalization of the well-known Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). In the CSP framework, we…

A continuous constraint satisfaction problem (CCSP) is a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) with an interval domain $U \subset \mathbb{R}$. We engage in a systematic study to classify CCSPs that are complete of the Existential Theory of…
In this paper, we study the mixed-integer nonlinear set given by a separable quadratic constraint on continuous variables, where each continuous variable is controlled by an additional indicator. This set occurs pervasively in optimization…

It is well known that the containment problem (as well as the equivalence problem) for semilinear sets is $\log$-complete in $\Pi_2^p$. It had been shown quite recently that already the containment problem for multi-dimensional linear sets…
We present a family of algorithms to solve random planted instances of any $k$-ary Boolean constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). A randomly planted instance of a Boolean CSP is generated by (1) choosing an arbitrary planted assignment…
The Unbounded Subset-Sum Problem (USSP) is defined as: given sum $s$ and a set of integers $W\leftarrow \{p_1,\dots,p_n\}$ output a set of non-negative integers $\{y_1,\dots,y_n\}$ such that $p_1y_1+\dots+p_ny_n=s$. The USSP is an…
We show that several important resource allocation problems in wireless networks fit within the common framework of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Inspired by the requirements of these applications, where variables are located at…
We consider the problem of computing the maximal invariant set of discrete-time linear systems subject to a class of non-convex constraints that admit quadratic relaxations. These non-convex constraints include semialgebraic sets and other…
Promise Constraint Satisfaction Problems (PCSP) were proposed recently by Brakensiek and Guruswami arXiv:1704.01937 as a framework to study approximations for Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). Informally a PCSP asks to distinguish…
We identify a sufficient condition, treewidth-pliability, that gives a polynomial-time algorithm for an arbitrarily good approximation of the optimal value in a large class of Max-2-CSPs parameterised by the class of allowed constraint…
Many important combinatorial problems can be modeled as constraint satisfaction problems. Hence identifying polynomial-time solvable classes of constraint satisfaction problems has received a lot of attention. In this paper, we are…
We study the computational complexity of fundamental problems over the $p$-adic numbers ${\mathbb Q}_p$ and the $p$-adic integers ${\mathbb Z}_p$. Gu\'epin, Haase, and Worrell proved that checking satisfiability of systems of linear…
Valued constraint satisfaction problems (VCSPs) are a large class of combinatorial optimisation problems. It is desirable to classify the computational complexity of VCSPs depending on a fixed set of allowed cost functions in the input.…
