Many problems can be expressed in terms of a numeric constraint satisfaction problem over finite or continuous domains (numeric CSP). The purpose of this paper is to show that the...
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. ...
Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) provide a model often used in Artificial Intelligence. Since the problem of the existence of a solution in a CSP is an NP-complete task, man...
Classical methods for solving numerical CSPs are based on a branch and prune algorithm, a dichotomic enumeration process interleaved with a consistency filtering algorithm. In man...
It is acknowledged that the symbolic form of the equations is crucial for interval-based solving techniques to efficiently handle systems of equations over the reals. However, only...
