Propagate the Right Thing: How Preferences Can Speed-Up Constraint Solving
We present an algorithm Pref-AC that limits arc consistency (AC) to the preferred choices of a tree search procedure and that makes constraint solving more efficient without chan...

A Graph Based Synthesis Algorithm for Solving CSPs
Many AI tasks can be formalized as constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), which involve finding values for variables subject to a set of constraints. While solving a CSP is an ...

Backtracking Through Biconnected Components of a Constraint Graph
The algorithm presented here, BCC, is an enhancement of the well known Backtrack used to solve constraint satisfaction problems. Though most backtrack improvements rely on propaga...

Full Restart Speeds Learning
Because many real-world problems can be represented and solved as constraint satisfaction problems, the development of effective, efficient constraint solvers is important. A solv...

Q'tron Neural Networks for Constraint Satisfaction
This paper proposes the methods to solve the constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) using Q'tron neural networks (NNs). A Q'tron NN is local-minima free if it is built ...

New Algebraic Tools for Constraint Satisfaction
Abstract. The Galois connection involving polymorphisms and coclones has received a lot of attention in regard to constraint satisfaction problems. However, it fails if we are inte...

Constraint Symmetry and Solution Symmetry
Symmetry in constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) has been considered in two fundamentally different ways: as an operation preserving the solutions of a CSP instance, or as an o...

Dualities for Constraint Satisfaction Problems
In a nutshell, a duality for a constraint satisfaction problem equates the existence of one homomorphism to the non-existence of other homomorphisms. In this survey paper, we give ...
