Abstract. We propose generalizations of the Global Cardinality Constraint (gcc) in which a partition of the variables is given. In the context of resource allocation problems, such...
A global cardinality constraint (gcc) is specified in terms of a set of variables X = {x1, ..., xp} which take their values in a subset of V = {v1, ..., vd}. It constrains the numb...
Abstract. We propose two algorithms achieving generalized arc consistency for the soft global cardinality constraint with variable-based violation and with value-based violation. T...
The Extended Global Cardinality Constraint (EGCC) is a vital component of constraint solving systems, since it is very widely used to model diverse problems. The literature contai...
We study the consistency problem for extended global cardinality (EGC) constraints. An EGC constraint consists of a set X of variables, a set D of values, a domain D(x) D for eac...
