Automatic Tabulation in Constraint Models

no code implementations26 Feb 2022 Özgür Akgün, Ian P. Gent, Christopher Jefferson, Zeynep Kiziltan, Ian Miguel, Peter Nightingale, András Z. Salamon, Felix Ulrich-Oltean

The performance of a constraint model can often be improved by converting a subproblem into a single table constraint.

Towards Reformulating Essence Specifications for Robustness

no code implementations1 Nov 2021 Özgür Akgün, Alan M. Frisch, Ian P. Gent, Christopher Jefferson, Ian Miguel, Peter Nightingale, András Z. Salamon

The Essence language allows a user to specify a constraint problem at a level of abstraction above that at which constraint modelling decisions are made.

Using Small MUSes to Explain How to Solve Pen and Paper Puzzles

1 code implementation30 Apr 2021 Joan Espasa, Ian P. Gent, Ruth Hoffmann, Christopher Jefferson, Alice M. Lynch, András Salamon, Matthew J. McIlree

In this paper, we present Demystify, a general tool for creating human-interpretable step-by-step explanations of how to solve a wide range of pen and paper puzzles from a high-level logical description.

Permutation group algorithms based on directed graphs (extended version)

no code implementations12 Nov 2019 Christopher Jefferson, Markus Pfeiffer, Rebecca Waldecker, Wilf A. Wilson

We introduce a new framework for solving an important class of computational problems involving finite permutation groups, which includes calculating set stabilisers, intersections of subgroups, and isomorphisms of combinatorial structures.

On the generation of rank 3 simple matroids with an application to Terao's freeness conjecture

1 code implementation1 Jul 2019 Mohamed Barakat, Reimer Behrends, Christopher Jefferson, Lukas Kühne, Martin Leuner

In this paper we describe a parallel algorithm for generating all non-isomorphic rank $3$ simple matroids with a given multiplicity vector.

Short and Long Supports for Constraint Propagation

no code implementations4 Feb 2014 Peter Nightingale, Ian Philip Gent, Christopher Jefferson, Ian Miguel

We also introduce a variant algorithm HaggisGAC-Stable, which is adapted to avoid work on backtracking and in some cases can be faster and have significant reductions in memory use.
