Abstract Nowadays many real problems can be modelled as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). A search algorithm for constraint programming requires an order in which variables ...
We present the results of an empirical study of several constraint satisfaction search algorithms and heuristics. Using a random problem generator that allows us to create instanc...
The lexicographically-ordered CSP ("lexicographic CSP" for short) combines a simple representation of preferences with the feasibility constraints of ordinary CSPs. Prefe...
Abstract. We investigate the dynamic variable ordering (DVO) technique commonly used in conjunction with tree-search algorithms for solving constraint satisfaction problems. We fi...
We study the runtime distributions of backtrack procedures for propositional satisfiability and constraint satisfaction. Such procedures often exhibit a large variability in perfor...
