frb100-40 benchmark solved after 20 years with optimality certificate

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have solved the frb100-40 benchmark, a challenge that remained open for over two decades. A new optimality certificate proves that the maximum independent-set size is 100 and the minimum vertex-cover size is 3,900 for the graph. Experiments evaluating repair operators showed no significant acceleration compared to existing methods, and a comparative analysis found that a group-aware CSP pipeline outperformed LibMVC-NuMVC on a smaller suite of problems.

    frb100-40 After Two Decades: An Optimality Certificate and a Preregistered Search Study

    arXiv:2609.02804v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For more than 20 years, the Model-RB benchmark frb100-40 remained an open challenge; since 2014, its public record had stood at 99 of 100 variables. We give a directly checkable 100-vertex independent set for its 4,000-vertex grap…
