Abstract
In a non-uniform Constraint Satisfaction problem CSP(Γ), where G is a set of relations on a finite set A, the goal is to find an assignment of values to variables subject to constraints imposed on specified sets of variables using the relations from Γ. The Dichotomy Conjecture for the non-uniform CSP states that for every constraint language \Gm the problem CSP(Γ) is either solvable in polynomial time or is NP-complete. It was proposed by Feder and Vardi in their seminal 1993 paper. In this paper we confirm the Dichotomy Conjecture.

On a stronger reconstruction notion for monoids and clones

TL;DR: In this paper, a new reconstruction notion for permutation groups, transformation monoids and clones, called automatic action compatibility, was introduced, which entails automatic homeomorphicity, and was shown to be applicable to several countable structures, including the strictly ordered rationals, the directed and undirected version of the random graph, the random tournament and bipartite graph, and the generic strictly ordered set.

TL;DR: An infinite class of satisfiability problems is considered which contains these two particular problems as special cases, and it is shown that every member of this class is either polynomial-time decidable or NP-complete.

The Computational Structure of Monotone Monadic SNP and Constraint Satisfaction: A Study through Datalog and Group Theory

TL;DR: This paper isolates a class (of problems specified by) "monotone monadic SNP without inequality" which may exhibit a dichotomy, and explains the placing of all these restrictions by showing, essentially using Ladner's theorem, that classes obtained by using only two of the above three restrictions do not show this dichotomy.

Classifying the Complexity of Constraints Using Finite Algebras

TL;DR: It is shown that any set of relations used to specify the allowed forms of constraints can be associated with a finite universal algebra and how the computational complexity of the corresponding constraint satisfaction problem is connected to the properties of this algebra is explored.
