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 ...

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 ...

We investigate risk-averse stochastic optimization problems with a risk-shaping constraint in the form of a stochastic-order relation. Both univariate and multivariate orders are considered. We extend ...

In this paper the relation between scientific problems and the constraints on their solutions is explored. First the historical constraints on the solution to the blackbody radiation problem are set ...

As today’s designs become more complex, so too do their constraints. Design functionality typically gets a lot of attention – through code review, functional verification, etc. However, the ...
