Abstract

En 中文
Nowadays, many real problems can be modelled as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Some CSPs are considered non-binary disjunctive CSPs. Many researchers study the problems of deciding consistency for Disjunctive Linear Relations (DLRs). In this paper, we propose a new class of constraints called Extended DLRs consisting of disjunctions of linear inequalities, linear disequations and non-linear disequations. This new class of constraints extends the class of DLRs. We propose a heuristic algorithm called DPOLYSA that solves Extended DLRs. as a non-binary disjunctive CSP solver. This proposal works on a polyhedron whose vertices are also polyhedra that represent the nondisjunctive problems. We also present a statistical preprocessing step which translates the disjunctive problem into a nondisjunctive and ordered one in each step. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
