A spontaneous symmetry breaking argument is applied to the problem of protein form, via a Rate Distortion analysis of the relation between genome coding and the final condensation...
Finite-domain constraint programming has been used with great success to tackle a wide variety of combinatorial problems in industry and academia. To apply finite-domain constrain...

Since their beginning in constraint programming, set solvers have been applied to a wide range of combinatorial search problems, such as bin-packing, set partitioning, circuit desi...
Abstract: This paper introduces six ways for handling a chain of lexicographic ordering constraint between the origins of identical orthotopes (e.g., rectangles, boxes, hyper-recta...
The Steel Mill Slab Problem is an optimization benchmark that has been studied for a long time in the constraint-programming community but was only solved efficiently in the two l...
