We present a version of the CCP paradigm, which is both distributed and probabilistic. We consider networks with a fixed number of nodes, each of them possessing a local and indep...
For a locally optimal solution to the nonlinear semidefinite programming problem, under Robinson's constraint qualification, the following conditions are proved to be equival...
To improve solution robustness, we introduce the concept of super solutions to constraint programming. An (a, b)-super solution is one in which if a variables lose their values, th...
Abstract. VLSI chips design is becoming increasingly complex and calling for more and more automation. Many chip design problems can be formulated naturally as constraint problems ...

We show that global constraints on finite domains like alldifferent can be reformulated into answer set programs on which we achieve arc, bound or range consistency. These reform...
