Abstract: Fuzzy constraint programming is implemented to optimize a cost function facing vague constraints. In this paper, for the first time, a novel distributed constraint programming is developed ...

A critical factor in the success of many decision support systems is the accurate modeling of user preferences. Psychology research has demonstrated that users often develop their preferences during ...

Mathematical programming with vanishing constraints (MPVC) represents a challenging class of optimisation problems where certain constraints become inactive—or “vanish”—depending on specific ...

Prior to SageMath 9.1, CPLEXBackend was available as part of the SageMath source tree, from which it would be built as an "optional extension" if the proprietary ...

Functional programming, as the name implies, is about functions. While functions are part of just about every programming paradigm, including JavaScript, a functional programmer has unique ...

Ask the publishers to restore access to 500,000+ books. A line drawing of the Internet Archive headquarters building façade. An illustration of a heart shape "Donate to the archive" An illustration of ...

This repository contains the code and runnable notebook for our Explainable Constraint Solving tutorials and talks. Explainable constraint solving is a sub-field of explainable AI (XAI) concerned with ...

Abstract: The Internet provides a medium for solving problems, namely scientific, for the industry or academia, an important one being Linear Programming (LP), illustrated here as an application of ...

ABSTRACT: This paper describes methods to merge two cover inequalities and also simultaneously merge multiple cover inequalities in a multiple knapsack instance. Theoretical results provide conditions ...
