Algebraic approach to promise constraint satisfaction
The complexity and approximability of the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) has been
actively studied over the past 20 years. A new version of the CSP, the promise CSP (PCSP) …

Local consistency as a reduction between constraint satisfaction problems
We study the use of local consistency methods as reductions between constraint satisfaction
problems (CSPs), and promise version thereof, with the aim to classify these reductions in a …

CLAP: A new algorithm for promise CSPs
We propose a new algorithm for Promise Constraint Satisfaction Problems (PCSPs). It is a
combination of the Constraint Basic LP relaxation and the Affine IP relaxation (CLAP). We …

Topology and adjunction in promise constraint satisfaction
The approximate graph coloring problem, whose complexity is unresolved in most cases,
concerns finding a-coloring of a graph that is promised to be-colorable, where. This problem …

Combinatorial gap theorem and reductions between promise CSPs
A value of a CSP instance is typically defined as a fraction of constraints that can be
simultaneously met. We propose an alternative definition of a value of an instance and show …

The power of the combined basic linear programming and affine relaxation for promise constraint satisfaction problems
In the field of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), promise CSPs are an exciting new
direction of study. In a promise CSP, each constraint comes in two forms:“strict” and “weak,” …

Hardness of linearly ordered 4-colouring of 3-colourable 3-uniform hypergraphs
M Filakovský, TV Nakajima, J Opršal… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
A linearly ordered (LO) $ k $-colouring of a hypergraph is a colouring of its vertices with
colours $1,\dots, k $ such that each edge contains a unique maximal colour. Deciding …
