  1. 1. Techniques for Efficient Constraint Propagation

    Författare :Mikael Zayenz Lagerkvist; Seif Haridi; Christian Schulte; Pierre Flener; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; constraint programming; constraint propagation; optimization; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explores three new techniques for increasing the efficiency of constraint propagation: support for incremental propagation, improved representation of constraints, and abstractions to simplify propagation.  Support for incremental propagation is added to a propagator centered propagation system by adding a new intermediate layer of abstraction, advisors, that capture the essential aspects of a variable centered system.

  2. 2. Other Things Besides Number : Abstraction, Constraint Propagation, and String Variable Types

    Författare :Joseph Scott; Pierre Flener; Parosh Abdulla; Justin Pearson; Michel Rueher; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; constraint programming; string constraint problems; Galois connections; abstraction; constraint propagation; computer-aided verification applications; Datavetenskap; Computer Science;

    Sammanfattning : Constraint programming (CP) is a technology in which a combinatorial problem is modeled declaratively as a conjunction of constraints, each of which captures some of the combinatorial substructure of the problem. Constraints are more than a modeling convenience: every constraint is partially implemented by an inference algorithm, called a propagator, that rules out some but not necessarily all infeasible candidate values of one or more unknowns in the scope of the constraint.

  3. 3. Cost Propagation - Numerical Propagation for Optimization Problems

    Författare :Birgit Grohe; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optimization; numerical propagation; Cost propagation;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we investigate Cost Propagation,an approach to numerical propagation for optimization problems, where we combine ideas from both Constraint Programming and Combinatorial Optimization. We consider discrete optimization problems with binary variables that can be expressed in the model max_x sum_k g_k(x^k)where the terms g_k(x^k) are distinct arbitrary functions over subsets x^k of x.

  4. 4. Analysis, synthesis and application of automaton-based constraint descriptions

    Författare :María Andreína Francisco Rodríguez; Justin Pearson; Pierre Flener; Christopher Jefferson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; constraint programming; constraint predicates; global constraints; automata; automaton-described constraint predicates; automaton-induced constraint decompositions; implied constraints; time-series constraints; transducers; automaton invariants; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Constraint programming (CP) is a technology in which a combinatorial problem is modelled as a conjunction of constraints on variables ranging over given initial domains, and optionally an objective function on the variables. Such a model is given to a general-purpose solver performing systematic search to find constraint-satisfying domain values for the variables, giving an optimal value to the objective function.

  5. 5. Computational Solid Wave Propagation Numerical Techniques and Industrial Applications

    Författare :Torbjörn Ekevid; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wave propagation; multigrid; adaptivity; parallel; FEM; iterative; SBFEM;

    Sammanfattning : For wave propagation and many other physical phenomena, the dynamic effects are vital. In industrial applications, such problems are very complex and generally have to be treated by means of numerical methods. LÄS MER
