The Fuzzy Constraint Networks model, a generalization of the Disjunctive Temporal Fuzzy Constraint Networks, is a framework that allows representing and reasoning with fuzzy qualit...
When a new (global) constraint is introduced in local search, measures for the penalty and variable conflicts of that constraint must be defined, and incremental algorithms for m...
This paper presents a global optimization operator for arbitrary meshes. The global optimization operator is composed of two main terms, one part is the global Laplacian operator ...

This paper introduces DEVIATION, a soft global constraint to obtain balanced solutions. A violation measure of the perfect balance can be defined as the Lp norm of the vector vari...

The spline element method with constraints is a discretization method where the unknowns are expanded as polynomials on each element and Lagrange multipliers are used to enforce th...
