Chapter 17 Constraints over Structured Domains
The computer will be the most marvellous of all tools as soon as program writing and debugging will be no longer necessary
—Jean-Louis Laurière (1976)
A wide range of combinatorial search problems find a natural formulation in the language of sets, multisets, strings, functions, graphs or other structured objects. Bin-packing, set partitioning, set covering, combinatorial design problems, circuits and mapping problems are some of them. They are NP-complete problems originating from areas as diverse as combinatorial mathematics, operations research or artificial ...
