Approximate Solution Sampling (and Counting) on AND/OR Spaces
In this paper, we describe a new algorithm for sampling solutions from a uniform distribution over the solutions of a constraint network. Our new algorithm improves upon the Sampli...

A New Framework for Sharp and Efficient Resolution of NCSP with Manifolds of Solutions
When numerical CSPs are used to solve systems of n equations with n variables, the preconditioned interval Newton operator plays two key roles: First it allows handling the n equat...

An Application of Constraint Programming to Superblock Instruction Scheduling
Modern computer architectures have complex features that can only be fully taken advantage of if the compiler schedules the compiled code. A standard region of code for scheduling ...

Switching among Non-Weighting, Clause Weighting, and Variable Weighting in Local Search for SAT
One way to design a local search algorithm that is effective on many types of instances is allowing this algorithm to switch among heuristics. In this paper, we refer to the way in...

Length-Lex Bounds Consistency for Knapsack Constraints
Recently, a new domain store for set-variables has been proposed which totally orders all values in the domain of a set-variable based on cardinality and lexicography. Traditionall...

Approximate Compilation of Constraints into Multivalued Decision Diagrams
We present an incremental refinement algorithm for approximate compilation of constraint satisfaction models into multivalued decision diagrams (MDDs). The algorithm uses a vertex ...
