Inductive computations on graphs defined by clique-width expressions
Labelling problems for graphs consist in building distributed data structures, making it possible to check a given graph property or to compute a given function, the arguments of which are vertices. For an inductively computable function D, if G is a graph with n vertices and of clique-width at most k, where k is fixed, we can associate with each vertex x of G a piece of information (bit sequence) lab(x) of length O(log2(n)) such that we can compute D in constant time, using only the labels...
Inequality-sum : a global constraint capturing the objective function
This paper introduces a new method to prune the domains of the variables in constrained optimization problems where the objective function is defined by a sum , and where the integer variables are subject to difference constraints of the form . An important application area where such problems occur is deterministic scheduling with the mean flow time as optimality criteria. This new constraint is also more general than a sum constraint defined on a set of ordered variables. Classical approaches...
Inequality-sum: a global constraint capturing the objective function
This paper introduces a new method to prune the domains of the variables in constrained optimization problems where the objective function is defined by a sum y = ∑xi, and where the integer variables xi are subject to difference constraints of the form xj - xi ≤ c. An important application area where such problems occur is deterministic scheduling with the mean flow time as optimality criteria. This new constraint is also more general than a sum constraint defined on a set of ordered variables....
