We study the definability of constraint satisfaction problems (CSP) in various fixed-point and infinitary logics. We show that testing the solvability of systems of equations over...
The Quantified Constraint Satisfaction Problem (QCSP) has been introduced to express situations in which we are not able to control the value of some of the variables (the universa...
We describe a method for learning formulas in firstorder logic using a brute-force, smallest-first search. The method is exceedingly simple. It generates all irreducible well-form...
This paper presents an improved backjumping algonthm for the constraint satisfaction problem, namely conflictdirected backjumping (CBJ). CBJ is then modified such that it can dete...
Arc consistency filtering is widely used in the framework of binary constraint satisfaction problems: with a low complexity, inconsistency may be detected,and domains are filtered...
