Revisiting the Sequence Constraint
Many combinatorial problems, such as car sequencing and rostering, feature sequence constraints, restricting the number of occurrences of certain values in every subsequence of a g...

Differentiable Invariants
Abstract. Invariants that incrementally maintain the value of expresder assignments to their variables are a natural abstraction to build high-level local search algorithms. But th...

Boosting Open CSPs
In previous work, a new approach called Open CSP (OCSP) was defined as a way of integrate information gathering and problem solving. Instead of collecting all variable values befor...

Inner and Outer Approximations of Existentially Quantified Equality Constraints
We propose a branch and prune algorithm that is able to compute inner and outer approximations of the solution set of an existentially quantified constraint where existential param...

A New Algorithm for Sampling CSP Solutions Uniformly at Random
The paper presents a method for generating solutions of a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) uniformly at random. The main idea is to express the CSP as a factored probability d...

Watched Literals for Constraint Propagation in Minion
Efficient constraint propagation is crucial to any constraint solver. We show that watched literals, already a great success in the satisfiability community, can be used to provide...
