In order to apply constraint programming to a particular domain, the problem must first be modelled as a constraint satisfaction problem. There are typically many alternative mode...
We present a new grammatical formalism called Constraint Dependency Grammar (CDG) in which every grammatical rule is given as a constraint on wordto-word modifications. CDG parsin...
Let Γ be a (not necessarily finite) structure with a finite relational signature. We prove that deciding whether a given existential positive sentence holds in Γ is in LOGSPACE...
An equality template (also equality constraint language) is a relational structure with infinite universe whose relations can be defined by boolean combinations of equalities. We ...
This paper presents an algorithm that achieves hyper-arc consistency for the soft alldifferent constraint. To this end, we prove and exploit the equivalence with a minimum-cost flo...
