摘要
A k-edge operation V on a finite set A is a k + 1 -ary operation that satisfies the identities [GRAPHICS] We prove that any constraint language F that, for some k > 1, has a k-edge operation as a polymorphism is globally tractable. We also show that the set of relations definable over IF using quantified generalized formulas is polynomially exactly learnable using improper equivalence queries. Special instances of k-edge operations are Mal'cev and near-unanimiry operations and so this class of constraint languages includes many well known examples.
