2 Enumeration Problems Task Given a constraint-formula ϕ, enumerate its set of solutions. Question What is an efficient enumeration algorithm? Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 2
3 Enumeration Problems Definition Efficient enumeration algorithm: Input ϕ, print solutions: Each solution is printed exactly once. Time between two solutions is polynomial. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 3
4 Notation Γ is a constraint language A Γ-formula is of the form n ϕ = R i (x1, i..., xk i i ) i=1 for relations R 1,..., R n Γ. Similarly: R-formulas. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 4
5 A Simple Algorithm An algorithm for the Boolean case Let ϕ be a formula with variables x 1,..., x n. If ϕ x 1 SAT: enumerate all solutions of ϕ[x 1 /1] If ϕ x 1 SAT: enumerate all solutions of ϕ[x 1 /0] Theorem (Creignou, Hébrard, 1997) In the Boolean case, there is no other algorithm. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 5
6 A Simple Algorithm Algorithm needs decision for Γ-formulas with literals. Works if CSP (Γ {{(0)}, {(1)}}) P. Generalization to non-boolean case: Γ + := Γ {{(α)} α D}. Γ + is Γ with literals Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 6
7 Non-Boolean Generalization Theorem (Cohen, 2004) If CSP (Γ + ) P, then Γ has an efficient enumeration algorithm. For the Boolean case, the converse holds as well (Creignou, Hébrard, 1997). What about arbitrary domains? Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 7
8 Lexicographic Orderings A weaker version of the converse does hold. Theorem Equivalent: 1. CSP (Γ + ) P. 2. Solutions Γ-formuls can be enumerated in lexicographical ordering, with different order for each variable. For x 1, we demand 0 < 2 < 4 < 3 < 1 For x 2, we demand 4 < 3 < 1 < 0 < 2... Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 8
9 Algebraic Properties Proposition If CSP (Γ + ) P, there is an efficient enumeration algorithm. If CSP (Γ) / P, there is no efficient enumeration algorithm. Look at Γ where CSP (Γ) P, and CSP (Γ + ) / P. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 9
10 Algebraic Properties Lemma Let CSP (Γ) P, CSP (Γ + ) / P. There is a unary f Pol (Γ) such that f is not injective and f f = f. For the D = 3 this means this is a constant or of the form f a b : f a b (a) = b f a b (b) = b f a b (c) = c Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 10
11 An Example Example Let R := {(2, 0, 0, 2), (2, 0, 2, 0), (2, 2, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0, 1), (1, 0, 1, 0), (1, 1, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0, 0)}. R has an eff. enumeration algorithm, CSP (R + ) is NP-complete. f 2 1 is a polymorphism of R. S := R {0, 1} 4 = {(1, 0, 0, 1), (1, 0, 1, 0), (1, 1, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0, 0)}. S is Schaefer (closed under conjunction). We can enumerate solutions for S-formulas. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 11
12 An Example Enumerating S-formulas is the same as enumerating Boolean solutions for R-formulas. k ϕ = R(x1, i..., xn) i i=1 k ψ = S(x1, i..., xn) i i=1 The formulas have the same Boolean solutions. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 12
13 An Example f 2 1 Pol (R), hence there is a Boolean for each real solution. Boolean solution is real one with all 2s made to 1s. Given Boolean Solution, generate all fitting solutions. Get real from Boolean solutions: change some 1s into 2s. The 1 is a placeholder for either 1 or 2. I {0} J 0 x 1,..., x n I {1, 2} J J 1 2 Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 13
14 Partial Solutions We get Boolean solutions. How do we get the refinements? Set some variables from 1 to 2. This is a Boolean Constraint Satisfaction Problem. Consider a Boolean solution for a single clause: R(w= {1, 2}, x = 0, y= 0, z= {1, 2}) Set both w and z to 2, or both to 1. Relation describing combinations: R I = {(1, 0, 0, 1), (2, 0, 0, 2)} {(1, 1), (2, 2)} Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 14
15 Partial Solutions Original: Enumeration problem over domain {0, 1, 2} Split up into two Boolean problems: 1. Enumerate the Boolean solutions of an R-formula 2. Find all fitting solutions to a Boolean solution Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 15
16 Partial Solutions E := {D 1,..., D k } a partition of the domain D. I : VAR (ϕ) E J : VAR (ϕ) D is compatible with I if J(x) I (x) for all variables x of ϕ I (x) = {0} I (y) = {1, 2} I (z) = {1, 2} J(x) = 0 J(y) = 1 J(z) = 2 I is a partial solution for ϕ, if there is a solution J = ϕ and J is compatible with I. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 16
17 Partial Solutions E = {D 1,..., D k }, I a partial E-solution, J compatible with I J α 1 I D 1 J α 2 α 3 x 1,..., x n I I D 2. J J α 4 α 5 D k J α m 1 α m Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 17
18 Partial Enumeration Algorithms PROBLEM: How can we enumerate partial E-solutions? E := {D 1,..., D k } a partition of the domain D. Theorem If CSP (Γ {D 1,..., D k }) P, then Γ we can efficiently enumerate partial E-solutions for Γ-formulas. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 18
19 From Partial to Real Solutions PROBLEM: Given a partial solution I, how can we generate all compatible solutions J? Definition R D n, E a partition on D. v E n. v E D := {t R t compatible with v} R E D v Γ E D R := v E D, without redundance := { R E D v v E n}. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 19
20 From Partial to Real Solutions Theorem R D n, E partition on D. Equivalent: 1. We can get all compatible solutions to partial solutions for R-formulas efficiently 2. Γ E D R is enumerable. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 20
21 Nested Algorithm Original: Enumeration problem over the domain D Consider partition E on D Split up into two problems: 1. Enumerate the partial E-solutions 2. Find all compatible solutions to a partial E-solution Two problems over a smaller domain. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 21
22 Negative results: The Three-Element Case Lemma Let D = {a, b, c}, R D n, such that: 1. f a b Pol (R) 2. f a b (R) does not have an efficient enumeration algorithm. 3. One of the following cases occurs:: 3.1 There is some v {a, b} n such that v / R, v[a/c, b/b] R, v[a/b, b/c] R. 3.2 (b,..., b) / R 3.3 (a,..., a), (c,..., c) / R, and there is some v {a, b} n \ R such that f a c (v) R R not enumerable, if P NP. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 22
23 The Algebraic Approach Let Γ 1 Γ 2. Transform Γ 1 -formulas into Γ 2 -formulas, with new -variables. New variables are a problem for enumeration. For Boolean case, enumeration follows the Galois connection. What about non-boolean domains? Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 23
24 No Galois Connection Theorem There are Γ 1 and Γ 2 with Γ 2 Γ 1 Γ 1 has an efficient enumeration algorithm, and Γ 2 does not (unless P = NP). Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 24

Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 25
26 Towards a dichotomy Theorem R D n, D = 3, E = {{a, b}, {c}} partition on D, such that all polymorphisms of R are conservative on E. Then our algorithms cover all cases. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 26
27 Future Research We have shown new enumeration algorithms. Previously known algebraic methods are only of limited use. For more hardness results, we will need to study partial polymorphisms. Efficient Enumeration Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems 27
