Splitting the atom: A new approach to Neighbourhood Interchangeability in Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We investigate interchangeability of values in CSPs, based on an approach where a single value in the domain of a variable can be treated as a combination of “sub-values”. An ...

A unified theory of structural tractability for constraint satisfaction problems
In this paper we derive a generic form of structural decomposition for the constraint satisfaction problem, which we call a guarded decomposition. We show that many existing decom...

Visual analogy: Viewing analogical retrieval and mapping as constraint satisfaction problems
The core issue of analogical reasoning is the transfer of relational knowledge from a source case to a target problem. Visual analogical reasoning pertains to problems containing ...

Rewriting Numeric Constraint Satisfaction Problems for Consistency Algorithms
Reformulating constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) in lower arity is a common procedure when computing consistency. Lower arity CSPs are simpler to treat than high arity CSPs. ...

Convergence and rate of convergence of a foraging ant model
— We present an ant model that solves a discrete foraging problem. We describe simulations and provide a complete convergence analysis: we show that the ant population computes t...
