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 ...

Spatial geometric constraint solving based on k-connected graph decomposition
We propose a geometric constraint solving method based on connectivity analysis in graph theory, which can be used to decompose a well-constrained problem into some smaller ones i...

Numerical decomposition of geometric constraints
Geometric constraint solving is a key issue in CAD/CAM. Since Owen’s seminal paper, solvers typically use graph based decomposition methods. However, these methods become diffi...

A New Approach to Distributed Task Assignment using Lagrangian Decomposition and Distributed Constraint Satisfaction
We present a new formulation of distributed task assignment, called Generalized Mutual Assignment Problem (GMAP), which is derived from an NP-hard combinatorial optimization probl...

Exploiting Decomposition in Constraint Optimization Problems
Decomposition is a powerful technique for reducing the size of a backtracking search tree. However, when solving constraint optimization problems (COP's) the standard techniqu...
