Decomposition of the NVALUE constraint
We study decompositions of the global NVALUE constraint. Our main contribution is theoretical: we show that there are propagators for global constraints like NVALUE which decomposi...

The Increasing Nvalue Constraint
This paper introduces the Increasing Nvalue constraint, which restricts the number of distinct values assigned to a sequence of variables so that each variable in the sequence is l...

Filtering Algorithms for the NValue Constraint
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 ...

A Constraint on the Number of Distinct Vectors with Application to Localization
Abstract. This paper introduces a generalization of the nvalue constraint that bounds the number of distinct values taken by a set of variables.The generalized constraint (called n...

New Structural Decomposition Techniques for Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We propose four new structural decomposition techniques for Constraint Satisfaction Problems. We compare these four techniques both theoretically and experimentally with hinge deco...
