Constraint Satisfaction Problems and Homomorphism Versions of Ultrafilter Axioms

نویسنده

  • CLAUDE TARDIF
چکیده

We define filter-tolerant powers of finite relational structures, and consider the problem of retracting such structures to their diagonal. We show that for some structures, such retractions can be readily derived from the axioms of Zermelo and Fraenkel, while at the other extreme, there are structures for which the existence of such retractions is equivalent to the ultrafilter axiom.

Constraint Satisfaction with Weakly Oligomorphic Template

Constraint satisfaction problems form a very interesting and much studied class of decision problems. Feder and Vardi realized their relation to general coloring problems of relational structure. This enabled the use of algebraic, combinatorial, and model theoretic methods for studying the complexity of such decision problems. In this paper we are interested in constraint satisfaction problems ...

Sharp thresholds for constraint satisfaction problems and homomorphisms

We determine under which conditions certain natural models of random constraint satisfaction problems have sharp thresholds of satisfiability. These models include graph and hypergraph homomorphism, the (d, k, t)-model, and binary constraint satisfaction problems with domain size 3.

Algorithmic aspects of graph homomorphisms

Homomorphisms are a useful model for a wide variety of combinatorial problems dealing with mappings and assignments, typified by scheduling and channel assignment problems. Homomorphism problems generalize graph colourings, and are in turn generalized by constraint satisfaction problems; they represent a robust intermediate class of problems – with greater modeling power than graph colourings, ...

Computational Complexity of the Extended Minimum Cost Homomorphism Problem on Three-Element Domains

In this paper we study the computational complexity of the extended minimum cost homomorphism problem (Min-Cost-Hom) as a function of a constraint language, i.e. a set of constraint relations and cost functions that are allowed to appear in instances. A wide range of natural combinatorial optimisation problems can be expressed as extended Min-Cost-Homs and a classification of their complexity w...

Two new homomorphism dualities and lattice operations

The study of constraint satisfaction problems definable in various fragments of Datalog has recently gained considerable importance. We consider constraint satisfaction problems that are definable in the smallest natural recursive fragment of Datalog monadic linear Datalog with at most one EDB per rule, and also in the smallest non-linear extension of this fragment. We give combinatorial and al...
