Phase transitions, ubiquitous in condensedmatter physics, are encounteredin computer science too. The existence of critical phenomena has deep consequences on computational complexity, that is the resolution times of various optimization or decision problems. Concepts and methods borrowedfrom the statistical physics of disorderedandout-of-equilibrium systems shed new light on the dynamical operation of solving algorithms. c #20T Publishedby Elsevier Science B.V
