We show a method resulting in the improvement of several polynomial-space, exponential-time algorithms. An instance of the problem Max (r,2)-CSP, or simply Max 2-CSP, is parametrized by the domain size r (often 2), the number of variables n…

We apply the generalized sphere-packing bound to two classes of subblock-constrained codes. A la Fazeli et al. (2015), we made use of automorphism to significantly reduce the number of variables in the associated linear programming problem.…
