PACE 2019 (Track Hypertree Width/Exact)

Exact 2a. Hypertree Width/Exact

Requirement:

The hypertree decomposition has to be optimal, i.e., of hypertree width.

Description:

We anticipate submissions to be based on a provably optimal algorithm, although we do not make this a formal requirement. Instead, if your submission halts on some instance within the allotted time and produces a solution that is known to be non-optimal, the submission will be disqualified. We also do not prescribe the algorithmic paradigm that is to be used; if a SAT or SMT-solver based submission consistently outperforms more direct approaches, this will be valuable information.

Instances

Download:

There are 100 public benchmark instances, labeled htd-exact_001.hgr, htd-exact_003.hgr, … to htd-exact_199.hgr.

Larger numbers in the filename should (as a rule of thumb) correspond to harder instances. The odd instances are public and the even instances will be provided later (secret).

For verification purposes, we also publish the sha1sum of the public archive:
