摘要:

人工智能、知识表示和验证中的许多基本问题涉及关于集合和集合之间关系的推理,并且可以建模为集合约束满足问题(集合CSP)。这样的问题往往是棘手的,但有几个重要的CSP集是已知的多项式时间听话。我们引入了一个大类的集CSP,可以解决在二次时间。我们的类,我们称之为EI,包含所有以前已知的易处理集CSP,但也有一些新的是至关重要的,例如在描述逻辑。EI集约束类有一个优雅的通用代数特征,我们用它来表明,每一个集合约束语言,正确地包含所有EI集约束已经有一个有限的子语言与NP-难的约束满足问题。

英文摘要:

Many fundamental problems in artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, and verification involve reasoning about sets and relations between sets and can be modeled as set constraint satisfaction problems (set CSPs). Such problems are frequently intractable, but there are several important set CSPs that are known to be polynomial-time tractable. We introduce a large class of set CSPs that can be solved in quadratic time. Our class, which we call EI, contains all previously known tractable set CSPs, but also some new ones that are of crucial importance for example in description logics. The class of EI set constraints has an elegant universal-algebraic characterization, which we use to show that every set constraint language that properly contains all EI set constraints already has a finite sublanguage with an NP-hard constraint satisfaction problem.
