A constraint is defined as a logical relation among several unknown quantities or variables, each taking a value in a given domain. Constraint Programming (CP) is an emergent field in operations research. Constraint programming is based on feasibility which means finding a feasible solution rather than optimization which means finding an optimal solution and focuses on the constraints and variables domain rather than the objective functions. While defining a set of constraints, this may seem a simple way to model a real-world problem but finding a good model that works well with a chosen solver is not that easy. A model could be very hard to solve if it is poorly chosen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
