A string graph is the intersection graph of a collection of continuous arcs in the plane. It is shown that any string graph with m edges can be separated into two parts of roughly...
Finite domain propagation solving, the basis of constraint programming (CP) solvers, allows building very high-level models of problems, and using highly specific inference encapsu...

Abstract. This paper reconsiders the deployment of synchronous optical networks (SONET), an optimization problem naturally expressed in terms of set variables. Earlier approaches, ...
Many search problems contain large amounts of redundancy in the search. In this paper we examine how to automatically exploit remaining subproblem equivalence, which arises when tw...
