We have started a systematic study of global constraints on set and multiset variables. We consider here disjoint, partition, and intersection constraints in conjunction with cardi...

In constraint satisfaction, decomposition is a common technique to split a problem in a number of parts in such a way that the global solution can be efficiently assembled from th...
