An important class of heuristics for constraint satisfaction problems works by sampling information during search in order to inform subsequent decisions. One of these strategies, ...
Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) based set bounds propagation is a powerful approach to solving set-constraint satisfaction problems. However, prior BDD based techniques incur the si...
Logic programming with the stable model semantics is put forward as a novel constraint programming paradigm. This paradigm is interesting because it bring advantages of logic prog...
This paper presents a review of advances in the mathematical programming approach to discrete/continuous optimization problems. We first present a brief review of MILP and MINLP f...
In this paper, we present a dynamic and adaptive variable ordering heuristic which guides systematic search toward inconsistent or hard parts of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (...
