摘要: In a minimal binary constraint network, every tuple of relation can be extended to solution. The tractability or intractability computing solution such network was long standing open question. Dechter conjectured this computation problem NP-hard. We prove conjecture. also conjecture by and Pearl stating that for k>=2 it is NP-hard decide whether single decomposed into an equivalent k-ary network. show holds even in case bi-valued constraints where k>=3, which proves another Pearl. Finally, we establish the frontier with respect domain cardinality parameter k.
