An invitation to the promise constraint satisfaction problem

چکیده
The study of the complexity constraint satisfaction problem (CSP), centred around Feder-Vardi Dichotomy Conjecture, has been very prominent in last two decades. After a long concerted effort and many partial results, Conjecture proved 2017 independently by Bulatov Zhuk. At about same time, vast generalisation CSP, called promise started to gain prominence. In this survey, we explain importance CSP highlight new interesting features that brought light. classification quest for is wide open, argue that, despite being more general, rather accessible range researchers than dichotomy-led been.

MUSE CSP: An Extension to the Constraint Satisfaction Problem
This paper describes an extension to the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) called MUSE CSP (MU ltiply SEgmented Constraint Satisfaction Problem). This extension is especially useful for those problems which segment into multiple sets of partially shared variables. Such problems arise naturally in signal processing applications including computer vision, speech processing, and handwriting re...
متن کاملThe Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problem :
In this paper, we develop a formalism called a distributed constraint satisfaction problem (distributed CSP) and algorithms for solving distributed CSPs. A distributed CSP is a constraint satisfaction problem in which variables and constraints are distributed among multiple agents. Various application problems in Distributed Arti cial Intelligence can be formalized as distributed CSPs. We prese...
متن کاملAn Effective Dichotomy for the Counting Constraint Satisfaction Problem
Bulatov (2008) gave a dichotomy for the counting constraint satisfaction problem #CSP. A problem from #CSP is characterised by a constraint language Γ, a fixed, finite set of relations over a finite domain D. An instance of the problem uses these relations to constrain an arbitrarily large finite set of variables. Bulatov showed that the problem of counting the satisfying assignments of instanc...
متن کاملAn efficient consistency algorithm for the Temporal Constraint Satisfaction Problem
Dechter et al. [5] proposed solving the Temporal Constraint Satisfaction Problem (TCSP) by modeling it as a metaCSP, which is a finite CSP with a unique global constraint. The size of this global constraint is exponential in the number of time points in the original TCSP, and generalized-arc consistency is equivalent to finding the minimal network of the TCSP, which is NP-hard. We introduce AC,...
متن کاملDistributed Partial Constraint Satisfaction Problem
Many problems in multi-agent systems can be described as Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (Distributed CSPs), where the goal is to nd a set of assignments to variables that satis es all constraints among agents. However, when real-life application problems are formalized as Distributed CSPs, they are often over-constrained and have no solution that satis es all constraints. This pap...
