Supermodular functions and the complexity of M-AX CSP

In this paper we study the complexity of the maximum constraint satisfaction problem (MAX CSP) over an arbitrary finite domain. An instance of MAX CSP consists of a set of variables and a collection of constraints which are applied to certain specified subsets of these variables; the goal is to find...
