If you’ve ever completed a sudoku puzzle, then you’ve completed a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). This type of problem is defined as a mathematical question where a number of constraints or ...

Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) provide a versatile framework for modelling complex decision-making tasks where a collection of variables must be allocated values that satisfy specific ...

Counting Constraint Satisfaction Problems (commonly referred to as #CSP) form a foundational framework in computational complexity theory by addressing the challenge of enumerating all possible ...

An instance of a random constraint satisfaction problem defines a random subset ${\cal S}$ (the set of solutions) of a large product space ${\cal X}^{N}$ (the set of assignments). We consider two ...

Numerical constraint systems are often handled by branch and prune algorithms that combine splitting techniques, local consistencies, and interval methods. This paper first recalls the principles of ...
