Constraint propagation is the main feature of any constraint solver. This is thus of prime importance to manage constraint propagation as efficiently as possible, justifying the us...
Abstract. The NValue constraint counts the number of different values assigned to a vector of variables. Propagating generalized arc consistency on this constraint is NP-hard. We ...
We present a detailed study of two inverse consistencies for non-binary constraints: relational path inverse consistency (rel PIC) and pairwise inverse consistency (PWIC). These ar...
Integrated modeling of temporal and logical constraints is important for solving real-life planning and scheduling problems. Logical constrains extend the temporal formalism by rea...
A cardinality constraint imposes that each value of a set V must be taken a certain number of times by a set of variables X, whereas an among constraint imposes that a certain numb...
