Local Consistency and SAT-Solvers
In this paper we show that the power of using k-consistency techniques in a constraint problem is precisely captured by using a particular inference rule, which we call positive-hy...

Testing Expressibility Is Hard
We study the expressibility problem: given a finite constraint language Γ on a finite domain and another relation R, can Γ express R? We prove, by an explicit family of example...

A Box-Consistency Contractor Based on Extremal Functions
Abstract. Interval-based methods can approximate all the real solutions of a system of equations and inequalities. The Box interval constraint propagation algorithm enforces Box co...

Making Adaptive an Interval Constraint Propagation Algorithm Exploiting Monotonicity
A new interval constraint propagation algorithm, called MOnotonic Hull Consistency (Mohc), has recently been proposed. Mohc exploits monotonicity of functions to better filter var...

Checking-Up on Branch-and-Check
Abstract. Branch-and-Check, introduced ten years ago, is a generalization of logic-based Benders decomposition. The key extension is to solve the Benders sub-problems at each feasi...

Exponential Propagation for Set Variables
Research on constraint propagation has primarily focused on designing polynomial-time propagators sometimes at the cost of a weaker filtering. Interestingly, the evolution of cons...

Computing the Density of States of Boolean Formulas
Abstract. In this paper we consider the problem of computing the density of states of a Boolean formula in CNF, a generalization of both MAX-SAT and model counting. Given a Boolean...

A Generic Visualization Platform for CP
In this paper we describe the design and implementation of CP-VIZ, a generic visualization platform for constraint programming. It provides multiple views to show the search tree, ...
