A VCSP instance is given by a finite set of variables, a finite domain of labels, and an objective function to be minimized. This function is represented as a sum of terms where each term depends on a subset of the variables. To obtain different classes of optimization problems, one can restrict all terms to come from a fixed set Γ of cost functions, called a language. \r\nRecent breakthrough results have established a complete complexity classification of such classes with respect to language Γ: if all cost functions in Γ satisfy a certain algebraic condition then all Γ-instances can be solved in polynomial time, otherwise the problem is NP-hard. Unfortunately, testing this condition for a given language Γ is known to be NP-hard. We thus study exponential algorithms for this meta-problem. We show that the tractability condition of a finite-valued language Γ can be tested in O(3‾√3|D|⋅poly(size(Γ))) time, where D is the domain of Γ and poly(⋅) is some fixed polynomial. We also obtain a matching lower bound under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH). More precisely, we prove that for any constant δ<1 there is no O(3‾√3δ|D|) algorithm, assuming that SETH holds.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2019-07-29T12:23:29Z","volume":132,"page":"77:1-77:12","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:08:40Z","month":"07","_id":"6725","title":"Testing the complexity of a valued CSP language","department":[{"_id":"VlKo"}],"ddc":["000"],"author":[{"first_name":"Vladimir","id":"3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Kolmogorov, Vladimir","last_name":"Kolmogorov"}],"year":"2019","type":"conference","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","oa":1,"oa_version":"Published Version","publication_status":"published","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"file":[{"access_level":"open_access","file_size":575475,"checksum":"f5ebee8eec6ae09e30365578ee63a492","relation":"main_file","file_id":"6738","file_name":"2019_LIPICS_Kolmogorov.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2019-07-31T07:01:45Z","creator":"dernst","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:38Z"}],"intvolume":" 132","has_accepted_license":"1"}
