Representing Fitness Landscapes by Valued Constraints to Understand the Complexity of Local Search
2020
The Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research
First, we show that for fitness landscapes representable by binary Boolean valued constraints there is a minimal necessary constraint graph that can be easily computed. ...
In the binary Boolean case, we prove that a degree 2 or treestructured constraint graph gives a quadratic bound on the number of improving moves made by any local search; hence, any landscape that can ...

For binary polynomial optimization problems of degree 2d and an odd number of variables n, we prove that n+2d-1/2 levels of the SoS/Lasserre hierarchy are necessary to provide the exact optimal value. ...
She showed that the Sherali-Adams hierarchy requires n levels to detect the empty integer hull, and conjectured that the SoS/Lasserre rank for the same problem is n-1. ...
