The Theory of Discrete Lagrange Multipliers for Nonlinear Discrete Optimization
In this paper we present a Lagrange-multiplier formulation of discrete constrained optimization problems, the associated discrete-space first-order necessary and sufficient condit...

Search Procedures and Parallelism in Constraint Programming
Abstract. In this paper, we present a major improvement in the search procedures in constraint programming. First, we integrate various search procedures from AI and OR. Second, we...

Rewriting Numeric Constraint Satisfaction Problems for Consistency Algorithms
Reformulating constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) in lower arity is a common procedure when computing consistency. Lower arity CSPs are simpler to treat than high arity CSPs. ...

A Framework for Constraint Programming Based Column Generation
Column generation is a state-of-the-art method for optimally solving di cult large-scale optimization problems such as airline crew assignment. We show how to apply column generati...

The Goldilocks Problem
A lot of work in constraint satisfaction has been focused on finding solutions to difficult problems. Many real life problems however, while not extremely complicated, have a huge...

An Interval Constraint Approach to Handle Parametric Ordinary Differential Equations for Decision Support
The behaviour of many systems is naturally modelled by a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which are parametric. Since decisions are often based on relations over these...
