Abstract. Bucket elimination (BE) is an exact technique based on variable elimination, commonly used for solving constraint satisfaction problems. We consider the hybridization of ...
We present an algorithm Pref-AC that limits arc consistency (AC) to the preferred choices of a tree search procedure and that makes constraint solving more efficient without chan...
Abstract. In constraint satisfaction, a general rule is to tackle the hardest part of a search problem first. In this paper, we introduce a parameter (τ) that measures the constr...
Nonlinear constraint systems can be solved by combining consistency techniques and search. In this approach, the search space is reduced using local reasoning on constraints. Howev...
Abstract. Kakuro consists in filling a grid with integers that sum up to predefined values. Sums are predefined for each row and column and all integers have to be different in ...
