Identifying Inconsistent CSPs by Relaxation
How do we identify inconsistent CSPs quickly? This paper presents relaxation as one possible method; showing how we can generate relaxed CSPs which are easier to prove inconsistent...

Semi-independent Partitioning: A Method for Bounding the Solution to COP's
In this paper we introduce a new method for bounding the solution to constraint optimization problems called semi-independent partitioning. We show that our method is a strict gene...
