org.jacop.constraints.EqBool

All Implemented Interfaces:

SatisfiedPresent, StoreAware

public class EqBool
extends PrimitiveConstraint

If all x's are equal to each other then result variable is equal 1. Otherwise, result variable is equal to zero. It restricts the domains of all variables to be either 0 or 1.

Field Detail

list

public IntVar[] list

It specifies x variables in the constraint.

result

public IntVar result

It specifies variable result in the constraint.

Constructor Detail

EqBool

public EqBool(IntVar[] list,
              IntVar result)

It constructs eqBool.

Parameters:

list - list of x's which must all be equal to the same value to make result equal 1.

result - variable which is equal 0 if x's contain different values.

EqBool

public EqBool(List<? extends IntVar> list,
              IntVar result)

It constructs eqBool.

Parameters:

list - list of variables which must all be equal to the same value to make result equal 1.

result - variable which is equal 0 if variables from list contain different values.

Method Detail

checkInvariants

public String checkInvariants()

It checks invariants required by the constraint. Namely that boolean variables have boolean domain.

Returns:

the string describing the violation of the invariant, null otherwise.

getDefaultNestedNotConsistencyPruningEvent

protected int getDefaultNestedNotConsistencyPruningEvent()

Overrides:

getDefaultNestedNotConsistencyPruningEvent in class PrimitiveConstraint

getDefaultNestedConsistencyPruningEvent

protected int getDefaultNestedConsistencyPruningEvent()

Overrides:

getDefaultNestedConsistencyPruningEvent in class PrimitiveConstraint

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent

public int getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent()

Specified by:

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent in class Constraint

getDefaultNotConsistencyPruningEvent

protected int getDefaultNotConsistencyPruningEvent()

Specified by:

getDefaultNotConsistencyPruningEvent in class PrimitiveConstraint

consistency

public void consistency(Store store)

Description copied from class: Constraint

It is a (most probably incomplete) consistency function which removes the values from variables domains. Only values which do not have any support in a solution space are removed.

Specified by:

consistency in class Constraint

Parameters:

store - constraint store within which the constraint consistency is being checked.

notConsistency

public void notConsistency(Store store)

Description copied from class: PrimitiveConstraint

It makes pruning in such a way that constraint is notConsistent. It removes values which always belong to a solution.

Specified by:

notConsistency in class PrimitiveConstraint

Parameters:

store - the constraint store in which context the notConsistency technique is evaluated.

satisfied

public boolean satisfied()

Description copied from interface: SatisfiedPresent

It checks if the constraint is satisfied. It can return false even if constraint is satisfied but not all variables in its scope are grounded. It needs to return true if all variables in its scope are grounded and constraint is satisfied.

Implementations of this interface for constraints that are not PrimitiveConstraint may require constraint imposition and consistency check as a requirement to work correctly.

Returns:

true if constraint is possible to verify that it is satisfied.

notSatisfied

public boolean notSatisfied()

Description copied from class: PrimitiveConstraint

It checks if constraint would be always not satisfied.

Specified by:

notSatisfied in class PrimitiveConstraint

Returns:

true if constraint must be notSatisfied, false otherwise.

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Constraint

It produces a string representation of a constraint state.

Overrides:

toString in class Constraint

decompose

public List<Constraint> decompose(Store store)

Description copied from class: Constraint

It returns an array list of constraint which are used to decompose this constraint. It actually creates a decomposition (possibly also creating variables), but it does not impose the constraint.

Overrides:

decompose in class Constraint

Parameters:

store - the constraint store in which context the decomposition takes place.

Returns:

an array list of constraints used to decompose this constraint.

imposeDecomposition

public void imposeDecomposition(Store store)

Description copied from class: Constraint

It imposes the decomposition of the given constraint in a given store.

Overrides:

imposeDecomposition in class Constraint

Parameters:

store - the constraint store to which the constraint is imposed to.
