Abstract: Many practical problems can be reduced recursively to smaller or simpler instances, down to the base cases. Most often, a straightforward implementation of such reduction fails to yield a solution running in reasonable time. In many cases it is Dynamic Programming which yields solutions of industrial value, based on an adequate tuning of the…
Abstract: An instance of the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is given by a family of constraints on overlapping sets of variables, and the goal is to assign values from a fixed domain to the variables so that all constraints are satisfied. In the optimization version, the goal is to maximize the number of satisfied constraints…
