The Complexity of Reasoning with Global Constraints

Christian Bessiere, Emmanuel Hebrard, Brahim Hnich +1

Constraint propagation is one of the techniques central to the success of constraint programming. To reduce search, fast algorithms associated with each constraint prune the domain…

SLIDE: A Useful Special Case of the CARDPATH Constraint

Christian Bessiere, Emmanuel Hebrard, Brahim Hnich +2

We study the CardPath constraint. This ensures a given constraint holds a number of times down a sequence of variables. We show that SLIDE, a special case of CardPath where the sli…

The Parameterized Complexity of Global Constraints

Christian Bessiere, Emmanuel Hebrard, Brahim Hnich +2

We argue that parameterized complexity is a useful tool with which to study global constraints. In particular, we show that many global constraints which are intractable to propaga…

Filtering Algorithms for the Multiset Ordering Constraint

Alan Frisch, Brahim Hnich, Zeynep Kiziltan +2

Constraint programming (CP) has been used with great success to tackle a wide variety of constraint satisfaction problems which are computationally intractable in general. Global c…

Range and Roots: Two Common Patterns for Specifying and Propagating Counting and Occurrence Constraints

Christian Bessiere, Emmanuel Hebrard, Brahim Hnich +2

We propose Range and Roots which are two common patterns useful for specifying a wide range of counting and occurrence constraints. We design specialised propagation algorithms for…

On the Asymptotic Solution for the Fourier-Bessel Multiple Scattering Coefficients of an Infinite Grating of Insulating Dielectric Circular Cylinders at Oblique Incidence

omer Kavaklioglu, Baruch Schneider

In this article, we present the asymptotic solution for the matrix system of equations representing the multiple scattering coefficients of an infinite grating of insulating dielec…
