It is known that Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) can be converted into Boolean Satisfiability problems (SAT); however how to encode a CSP into a SAT problem such that a SAT...
The replication number of a branching program is the minimum number R such that along every accepting computation at most R variables are tested more than once; the sets of variab...
We consider symbolic dynamic programming (SDP) for solving Markov Decision Processes (MDP) with factored state and action spaces, where both states and actions are described by se...

We introduce the SoftAllEqual global constraint, which maximizes the number of equalities holding between pairs of assignments to a set of variables. We study the computational com...
Many complex real-world decision problems, such as planning, contain an underlying constraint reasoning problem. The feasibility of a solution candidate then depends on the consis...
