HSJ-Solver: a new method based on GHD for answering conjunctive queries and solving constraint satisfaction problems
Evaluating conjunctive queries (CQs) is NP-hard in general; however, acyclic CQs or nearest acyclic CQs can be evaluated in polynomial time. Many...

Tractability in constraint satisfaction problems: a survey
Even though the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is NP-complete, many tractable classes of CSP instances have been identified. After discussing...

Space Saving by Dynamic Algebraization
Dynamic programming is widely used for exact computations based on tree decompositions of graphs. However, the space complexity is usually... -
Ant Colony Optimization for Tree Decompositions
Instances of constraint satisfaction problems can be solved efficiently if they are representable as a tree decomposition of small width.... -
Tree-Width for First Order Formulae
We introduce tree-width for first order formulae ϕ, fotw(ϕ). We show that computing fotw is fixed-parameter tractable with parameter fotw. Moreover,... -
The Structure of Tractable Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We give a survey of recent results on the complexity of constraint satisfaction problems. Our main emphasis is on tractable structural restrictions. -
DAG-Width and Parity Games
Tree-width is a well-known metric on undirected graphs that measures how tree-like a graph is and gives a notion of graph decomposition that proves... -
Tractability by Approximating Constraint Languages
A constraint satisfaction problem instance consists of a collection of variables that need to have values assigned to them. The assignments are... -
A Constraint Directed Model for Partial Constraint Satisfaction Problems
For many constraint satisfaction problems, finding complete solutions is impossible (i.e. problems may be over-constrained). In such cases, we want a...
