To test incomplete search algorithms for constraint satisfaction problems such as 3-SAT, we need a source of hard, but satisfiable, benchmark instances. A simple way to do this is to choose a random truth assignment A, and then choose…

A common interpretation of soft constraints penalizes the database for every violation of every constraint, where the penalty is the cost (weight) of the constraint. A computational challenge is that of finding an optimal subset: a…

Given a weighted bipartite graph $G = (L, R, E, w)$, the maximum weight matching (MWM) problem seeks to find a matching $M \subseteq E$ that maximizes the total weight $\sum_{e \in M} w(e)$. This paper presents a novel algorithm with a time…

We consider probabilistic automata on infinite words with acceptance defined by parity conditions. We consider three qualitative decision problems: (i) the positive decision problem asks whether there is a word that is accepted with…

Autonomous navigation often requires the simultaneous optimization of multiple objectives. The most common approach scalarizes these into a single cost function using a weighted sum, but this method is unable to find all possible trade-offs…

A 3-SAT problem is called positive and planar if all the literals are positive and the clause-variable incidence graph (i.e., SAT graph) is planar. The NAE 3-SAT and 1-in-3-SAT are two variants of 3-SAT that remain NP-complete even when…
