A characterisation of the complexity of forbidding subproblems in binary max-CSP

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsConference proceedingpeer-review

Abstract

Tractable classes of binary CSP and binary Max-CSP have recently been discovered by studying classes of instances defined by excluding subproblems. In this paper we characterise the complexity of all classes of binary Max-CSP instances defined by forbidding a single subproblem. In the resulting dichotomy, the only non-trivial tractable class defined by a forbidden subproblem corresponds to the set of instances satisfying the so-called joint-winner property.
