The Tractability of CSP Classes Defined by Forbidden Patterns
2012
The Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research
Although the CSP is NP-hard in general, considerable effort has been spent on identifying tractable subclasses. ...
We show that this framework generalises certain known hybrid tractable classes. ...
In general, we are not yet able to make any conjecture concerning a dichotomy for hybrid tractability defined by general forbidden patterns. ...

Generalizing constraint satisfaction on trees: Hybrid tractability and variable elimination
2010
Artificial Intelligence
In this paper we introduce the broken-triangle property, which allows us to define a novel tractable class for this problem which significantly generalizes the class of problems with tree structure. ...
Considerable progress has been made in identifying properties which ensure tractability in such problems, such as the property of being tree-structured. ...

Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Such hybrid width parameters, which consider both the query structure and database content, are a natural avenue for further research. ...
To tackle the problem beyond bounded arity, a number of generalizations of treewidth have been developed that provide sufficient conditions for tractably solving CSPs, the most important of which are hypertree ...

Some New Tractable Classes of CSPs and Their Relations with Backtracking Algorithms
[chapter]
2013
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
By relating the complexity of CSP algorithms to graph-theoretical parameters, our analysis allows us to define new tractable classes, which can be solved directly by the usual CSP algorithms in polynomial ...
So, our approach allows us to propose new tractable classes of CSPs that are naturally exploited by solvers, which indicates new ways to explain in some cases the practical efficiency of classical search ...

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this context, the Broken Triangle Property (BTP) is a state-of-the-art microstructure-based tractable class which generalizes well-known and previously-defined tractable classes, notably the set of ...
In this paper, we propose to extend and to generalize this class using a more general approach based on a parameter k which is a given constant. ...
This class strictly contains both structural tractable classes (such as tree-structured CSPs) and tractable classes defined by language restrictions. ...

A Join-Based Hybrid Parameter for Constraint Satisfaction

2019
arXiv
pre-print
It has, therefore, the potential to capture larger classes of tractable instances than purely structural parameters like hypertree width and the more general fractional hypertree width (fhtw). ...
Joinwidth is a hybrid parameter, as it takes both the graphical structure as well as the constraint relations that appear in the instance into account. ...
Bounded fractional hypertree width is the most general known structural restriction that gives rise to polynomial-time tractability of CSP. ...

For example, it is known that for any finite constraint language Γ, and any k, if one restricts instances of CSP(Γ) to those of tree-width k then the problem class is tractable. ...
