The structural rigidity property, a generalization of Laman’s theorem which characterizes rigid bar frameworks in 2D, is generally considered a good approximation of rigidity in...
We present an efficient algorithm that checks the consistency of partial descriptions of ordered trees. The constraint language of these descriptions was introduced by Cornell in c...
We study the approximability of 1-in-kSAT, the variant of Max kSAT where a clause is deemed satisfied when precisely one of its literals is satisfied. We also investigate differ...
Linear equality and inequality constraints arise naturally in specifying many aspects of user interfaces, such as requiring that one window be to the left of another, requiring tha...
Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) based set bounds propagation is a powerful approach to solving set-constraint satisfaction problems. However, prior BDD based techniques incur the si...
