The Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) framework allows users to define problems in a declarative way, quite independently from the solving process. However, when the problem i...

This paper considers the issue of postprocessing the output of interval-based solvers for further exploitations when solving numerical CSPs with continuum of solutions. Most interv...
Shaving and constructive disjunction are two main refutation principles used in constraint programming. The shaving principle allows us to compute the singleton arc-consistency (SA...
As opposed to finite domain CSPs, arc consistency cannot be enforced, in general, on CSPs over the reals, including very simple instances. In contrast, a stronger property, the s...
A key factor that can dramatically reduce the search space during constraint solving is the criterion under which the variable to be instantiated next is selected. For this purpos...
