Abstract- This paper presents a new operator for genetic algorithms that enhances their convergence in the case of nonlinear problems with nonlinear equality constraints. The propo...
This paper proposes constraint propagation relaxation (CPR), a probabilistic approach to classical constraint propagation that provides another view on the whole parametric family...
This paper introduces propagator groups as an abstraction for controlling the execution of propagators as implementations of constraints. Propagator groups enable users of a constr...
Soft constraints are a generalization of classical constraints, where constraints and/or partial assignments are associated to preference or importance levels, and constraints are...
