摘要: Computationally hard instances of combinatorial problems arise at a certain critical ratio constraints to variables. At the ratio, problem distributions undergo dramatic changes. I will discuss how an analogous phenomenon occurs in phase transitions studied physics, and experiments with critically constrained have led surprising new insights into average-case complexity stochastic search methods AI.
