Constraint satisfaction problems form a nicely behaved class of problems that lends itself to complexity classification results. From the point of view of parameterized complexity, a natural task is to classify the parameterized complexity…
We study the parameterized complexity of MinCSP for so-called equality languages, i.e., for finite languages over an infinite domain such as $\mathbb{N}$, where the relations are defined via first-order formulas whose only predicate is $=$.…
The minimum unsatisfiability version of a constraint satisfaction problem (MinCSP) asks for an assignment where the number of unsatisfied constraints is minimum possible, or equivalently, asks for a minimum-size set of constraints whose…
We study minimum cost constraint satisfaction problems (MinCostCSP) through the algebraic lens. We show that for any constraint language $\Gamma$ which has the dual discriminator operation as a polymorphism, there exists a…
We study multi-budgeted variants of the classic minimum cut problem and graph separation problems that turned out to be important in parameterized complexity: Skew Multicut and Directed Feedback Arc Set. In our generalization, we assign…
The Constraint Shortest Path (CSP) problem is as follows. An $n$-vertex graph is given, each edge/arc assigned two weights. Let us call them "cost" and "length" for definiteness. Finding a min-cost upper-bounded length path between a given…
We investigate parameterized algorithms for the NP-hard problem Min-Power Asymmetric Connectivity (MinPAC) that has applications in wireless sensor networks. Given a directed arc-weighted graph, MinPAC asks for a strongly connected spanning…
We study a model of constraint satisfaction problems geared towards instances with few variables but with domain of unbounded size (udCSP). Our model is inspired by recent work on FPT algorithms for MinCSP where frequently both upper and…
In the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) corresponding to a constraint language (i.e., a set of relations) $\Gamma$, the goal is to find an assignment of values to variables so that a given set of constraints specified by relations from…
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…
We study the parameterized problem of satisfying ``almost all'' constraints of a given formula $F$ over a fixed, finite Boolean constraint language $\Gamma$, with or without weights. More precisely, for each finite Boolean constraint…
We present a parameterized dichotomy for the \textsc{$k$-Sparsest Cut} problem in weighted and unweighted versions. In particular, we show that the weighted \textsc{$k$-Sparsest Cut} problem is NP-hard for every $k\geq 3$ even on graphs…
In this work, we initiate a thorough study of parameterized graph optimization problems in the distributed setting. In a parameterized problem, an algorithm decides whether a solution of size bounded by a \emph{parameter} $k$ exists and if…
We study the optimization version of constraint satisfaction problems (Max-CSPs) in the framework of parameterized complexity; the goal is to compute the maximum fraction of constraints that can be satisfied simultaneously. In standard…
By concisely representing a joint function of many variables as the combination of small functions, discrete graphical models (GMs) provide a powerful framework to analyze stochastic and deterministic systems of interacting variables. One…
We study the problem Symmetric Directed Multicut from a parameterized complexity perspective. In this problem, the input is a digraph $D$, a set of cut requests $C=\{(s_1,t_1),\ldots,(s_\ell,t_\ell)\}$ and an integer $k$, and the task is to…
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 the graph $k$-partitioning problem under the min-max objective, termed as Minmax $k$-cut. The input here is a graph $G=(V,E)$ with non-negative edge weights $w:E\rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ and an integer $k\geq 2$ and the goal is…
In the constraint satisfaction problem ($CSP$), the aim is to find an assignment of values to a set of variables subject to specified constraints. In the minimum cost homomorphism problem ($MinHom$), one is additionally given weights…
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…
