Flow-Based Propagators for the SEQUENCE and Related Global Constraints
We propose new filtering algorithms for the SEQUENCE constraint and some extensions of the SEQUENCE constraint based on network flows. We enforce domain consistency on the SEQUENCE...

Probabilistically Estimating Backbones and Variable Bias: Experimental Overview
Backbone variables have the same assignment in all solutions to a given constraint satisfaction problem; more generally, bias represents the proportion of solutions that assign a v...

Exploiting Common Subexpressions in Numerical CSPs
It is acknowledged that the symbolic form of the equations is crucial for interval-based solving techniques to efficiently handle systems of equations over the reals. However, only...

Connecting ABT with Arc Consistency
ABT is the reference algorithm for asynchronous distributed constraint satisfaction. When searching, ABT produces nogoods as justifications of deleted values. When one of such nogo...

A Soft Constraint of Equality: Complexity and Approximability
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...

Optimization of Simple Tabular Reduction for Table Constraints
Abstract. Table constraints play an important role within constraint programming. Recently, many schemes or algorithms have been proposed to propagate table constraints or/and to c...

Revisiting the Upper Bounding Process in a Safe Branch and Bound Algorithm
Abstract. Finding feasible points for which the proof succeeds is a critical issue in safe Branch and Bound algorithms which handle continuous problems. In this paper, we introduce...

A New Empirical Study of Weak Backdoors
Abstract. Work by Kilby, Slaney, Thiebaux and Walsh [1] showed that the backdoors and backbones of unstructured Random 3SAT instances are largely disjoint. In this work we extend t...
