We perform an extensive theoretical and empirical analysis of the use of auxiliary variables and implied constraints in modelling a class of non-binary constraint satisfaction pro...
Reformulating constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) in lower arity is a common procedure when computing consistency. Lower arity CSPs are simpler to treat than high arity CSPs. ...
Abstract. We present algorithms that perform the extraction of partial assignments from binary Constraint Satisfaction Problems without introducing new constraints. They are based ...
This paper introduces a hybrid Tabu Search - Evolutionary Algorithm for solving the binary constraint satisfaction problem, called CTLEA. A continuation of an earlier introduced al...
New approaches to solving constraint satisfaction problems using iterative improvement techniques have been found to be successful on certain, very large problems such as the mill...
