Analysis of Heuristic Synergies
“Heuristic synergy” refers to improvements in search performance when the decisions made by two or more heuristics are combined. This paper considers combinations based on prod...

A CSP Search Algorithm with Reduced Branching Factor
This paper presents an attempt to construct a ”practical” CSP algorithm that assigns a variable with 2 values at every step. Such a strategy has been successfully used for cons...

Among, Common and Disjoint Constraints
Abstract. Among, Common and Disjoint are global constraints useful in modelling problems involving resources. We study a number of variations of these constraints over integer and ...

A Hybrid Benders' Decomposition Method for Solving Stochastic Constraint Programs with Linear Recourse
Abstract. We adopt Benders’ decomposition algorithm to solve scenariobased Stochastic Constraint Programs (SCPs) with linear recourse. Rather than attempting to solve SCPs via a ...

Views and Iterators for Generic Constraint Implementations
This paper introduces an architecture for generic constraint implementations based on variable views and range iterators. Views allow, for example, to scale, translate, and negate...

Complexity Analysis of Heuristic CSP Search Algorithms
CSP search algorithms are exponential in the worst-case. A trivial upper bound on the time complexity of CSP search algorithms is O∗ (dn ), where n and d are the number of variab...

Complete Propagation Rules for Lexicographic Order Constraints over Arbitrary Domains
We give an efficiently executable specification of the global constraint of lexicographic order in the Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) language. In contrast to previous approaches...

On Generators of Random Quasigroup Problems
Problems that can be sampled randomly are a good source of test suites for comparing quality of constraint satisfaction techniques. Quasigroup problems are representatives of struc...

Partitioning Based Algorithms for Some Colouring Problems
We discuss four variants of the graph colouring problem, and present algorithms for solving them. The problems are k-Colourability, Max Ind k-COL, Max Val k-COL, and, finally, Max...
