It is known that Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) can be converted into Boolean Satisfiability problems (SAT); however how to encode a CSP into a SAT problem such that a SAT...
Recently defined resolution calculi for Max-SAT and signed Max-SAT have provided a logical characterization of the solving techniques applied by Max-SAT and WCSP solvers. In this...
In this paper, we want to handle multiple interleaved Alldiff constraints from two points of view: a uniform propagation framework with some CSP reduction rules and a SAT encoding ...
Abstract. We define new encodings from Max-CSP into Partial MaxSAT which are obtained by modelling the at-most-one condition with the sequential SAT encoding of the cardinality co...
Symmetry in constraint problems can be exploited to greatly improve search performance. A form of symmetry that has been the subject of considerable research is value interchangeab...
