Backdoor trees

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the notion of backdoor trees as an indicator for the presence of a hidden structure in real-world SAT instances and compare the size of backdoor sets with the number of backdoor variables.

Local search: is brute-force avoidable?

TL;DR: It is shown that for several classes of sparse graphs, including planar graphs, graphs of bounded vertex degree and graphs excluding some fixed graph as a minor, an improved solution in the k-exchange neighborhood for many problems can be found much more efficiently.

Hardness of discrepancy computation and ε-net verification in high dimension

TL;DR: It is proved that the canonical decision problems are W[1]-hard with respect to the dimension, implying that no f( d)@?n^O^(^1^)-time algorithm is possible for any function f(d) unless FPT=W[1].

Constraint satisfaction with bounded treewidth revisited

TL;DR: This paper determines whether or not fixed-parameter algorithms for constraint satisfaction exist, and provides an effective fixed- parameter algorithm which is based on dynamic programming on “nice” tree decompositions.

Model Counting for CNF Formulas of Bounded Modular Treewidth

TL;DR: It is shown that the number of satisfying assignments can be computed in polynomial time for CNF formulas whose incidence graphs have bounded modular treewidth, and the first one to harness this technique for #SAT.
