Constraint graph — For a graph in electronic design automation, see Constraint graph (layout). In constraint satisfaction research of artificial intelligence and operations research, constraint graphs and hypergraphs are used to represent relations among… … Wikipedia
Primal graph — may be used in several meanings.*Primal graph (hypergraphs) of a hypergraph *A primal graph may be the planar graph from which a dual graph is formed. *Primal constraint graph … Wikipedia
Complexity of constraint satisfaction — The complexity of constraint satisfaction is the application of computational complexity theory on constraint satisfaction. It has mainly been studied for discriminating between tractable and intractable classes of constraint satisfaction… … Wikipedia
Constraint satisfaction dual problem — The dual problem is a reformulation of a constraint satisfaction problem expressing each constraint of the original problem as a variable. Dual problems only contain binary constraints, and are therefore solvable by algorithms tailored for such… … Wikipedia
Decomposition method (constraint satisfaction) — In constraint satisfaction, a decomposition method translates a constraint satisfaction problem into another constraint satisfaction problem that is binary and acyclic. Decomposition methods work by grouping variables into sets, and solving a… … Wikipedia
Hybrid algorithm (constraint satisfaction) — In constraint satisfaction, a hybrid algorithm solves a constraint satisfaction problem by the combination of two different methods, for example variable conditioning (backtracking, backjumping, etc.) and constraint inference (arc consistency,… … Wikipedia
Local search (constraint satisfaction) — In constraint satisfaction, local search is an incomplete method for finding a solution to a problem. It is based on iteratively improving an assignment of the variables until all constraints are satisfied. In particular, local search algorithms… … Wikipedia

Linear programming — (LP, or linear optimization) is a mathematical method for determining a way to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a given mathematical model for some list of requirements represented as linear relationships.… … Wikipedia
optimization — /op teuh meuh zay sheuhn/ 1. the fact of optimizing; making the best of anything. 2. the condition of being optimized. 3. Math. a mathematical technique for finding a maximum or minimum value of a function of several variables subject to a set of … Universalium
