A dichotomy for real Boolean Holant problems

S Shao, JY Cai - 2020 IEEE 61st Annual Symposium on …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We prove a complexity dichotomy for Holant problems on the boolean domain with arbitrary
sets of real-valued constraint functions. These constraint functions need not be symmetric …
