A cardinality constraint imposes that each value of a set V must be taken a certain number of times by a set of variables X, whereas an among constraint imposes that a certain numb...
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...
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...
A soft global constraint SOFTPREC has been proposed recently for solving optimisation problems involving precedence relations. In this paper we present new pruning rules for this g...
