Nonlinear constraint systems can be solved by combining consistency techniques and search. In this approach, the search space is reduced using local reasoning on constraints. Howev...
The Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) provides a common framework for many combinatorial problems. The general CSP is known to be NP-complete; however, certain restrictions on...
This paper considers constraint propagation methods for continuous constraint satisfaction problems consisting of linear and quadratic constraints. All methods can be applied after...
Abstract. We study two natural models of randomly generated constraint satisfaction problems. We determine how quickly the domain size must grow with n to ensure that these models ...
We present an algorithm Pref-AC that limits arc consistency (AC) to the preferred choices of a tree search procedure and that makes constraint solving more efficient without chan...
