Many AI tasks can be formulated as Constraint-Satisfaction problems (CSP), i.e., the assignment of values to variables subject to a set of constraints. While some CSPs are hard, those that are easy can often be mapped into sparse networks of constraints which, in the extreme case, are trees. This paper identifies classes of problems that lend themselves to easy solutions, and develops algorithms that solve these problems optimally. The paper then presents a method of generating heuristic advice…

Constraint Networks: A Survey

TLDR
The techniques for solving the interval constraint satisfaction problem such as Waltz filtering and tolerance propagation are presented and a review of the intervals constraint satisfaction problems (ICSP) is presented.

Distributing Constraints by Sampling in Non-Binary CSPs

TLDR
This paper presents a distributed model for solving non-binary CSPs, in which agents are committed to sets of constraints, and a set of agents are incrementally and concurrently committed to building partial solutions until a problem solution is found.

Why is Scheduling Difficult? A CSP Perspective

TLDR
This paper explores how a sequence of successively more complex scheduling problems can be modeled as a CSP, and the relevance of existing CSP problem solving heuristics.

Distributed Models for solving CSPs

TLDR
This work presents two techniques for partition a CSP based on graph partitioning and based on trees, where the number of partition is unknown in advance.

A quantitative solution to Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP)

TLDR
In this quantitative approach, using variable transformation and constraint transformation, a CSP is transformed into a satisfiability (SAT) problem and the SAT problem is then solved within a continuous search space.

A Graph Based Synthesis Algorithm for Solving CSPs

TLDR
This paper presents a solution synthesis algorithm called ω-CDGT which is an existing algorithm named CDGT augmented with a constraint representative graph calledπ-graph, and shows that the worst-case complexity of the ω -CDGT algorithm is better than other related algorithms.

Solution Techniques for Constraint Satisfaction Problems

TLDR
The concept of CSP is defined and how some combinatorial problems can be modelled as CSPs are shown, and a detailed description of the basic techniques for constraint satisfaction is given.

Issues in the performance measurement of constraint-satisfaction techniques

Learned Value-Ordering Heuristics for Constraint Satisfaction

In global search for a solution to a constraint satisfaction problem, a value-ordering heuristic predicts which values are most likely to be part of a solution. When such a heuristic uses look-ahead,…

Exploiting the Constrainedness in Constraint Satisfaction Problems

TLDR
A parameter (τ) that measures the constrainedness of a search problem is introduced that represents the probability of the problem being feasible and can also be used in a heuristic to guide search.

The Anatomy of Easy Problems: A Constraint-Satisfaction Formulation

TLDR
A subset of CSPs is identified whose syntactic and semantic properties make them easy to solve, and problems supported by tree-like constraint graphs, and some width-2 graphs are chosen as the target model for the relaxation scheme.

Consistency in Networks of Relations

A Sufficient Condition for Backtrack-Free Search

TLDR
A relationship involving the structure of the constraints is described which characterizes to some degree the extreme case of mimmum backtracking and a concept called "width," which may provide some guidance in the representation of constraint satisfaction problems and the order in which they are searched.

A sufficient condition for backtrack-bounded search

TLDR
A relationship involving the structure of the constraints is described that provides a bound on the backtracking required to advance deeper into the backtrack tree, which leads to upper bounds on the effort required for solution of a class of constraint satisfaction problems.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that these heuristics can be obtained by the process of deleting constraints from the original problem and solving the relaxed problem which ensues, and a scheme for generating such heuristic mechanically is outlined.

Intelligent Backtracking in Plan-Based Deduction

TLDR
It is proven that the algorithm is complete in the following sense: if for a given base a resolution refutation exists, then this refutation is found by the algorithm.

Complexity of finding embeddings in a k -tree

TLDR
This work determines the complexity status of two problems related to finding the smallest number k such that a given graph is a partial k-tree and presents an algorithm with polynomially bounded (but exponential in k) worst case time complexity.
