Field Detail

a

public SetVar a

It specifies set variable a, which must be equal to set variable b.

set

public IntDomain set

It specifies the set which must be equal to set variable a.

Constructor Detail

AeqS

public AeqS(SetVar a,
            IntDomain set)

It constructs an AeqS constraint to restrict the domain of the variables.

Parameters:

a - variable a that is forced to be equal to a specified set value.

set - it specifies the set to which variable a must be equal to.

Method Detail

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.

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent

public int getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent()

Specified by:

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent in class Constraint

getNotConsistencyPruningEvent

public int getNotConsistencyPruningEvent(Var var)

Description copied from class: PrimitiveConstraint

It retrieves the pruning event which causes reevaluation of the constraint notConsistency() function.

Overrides:

getNotConsistencyPruningEvent in class PrimitiveConstraint

Parameters:

var - for which pruning event is retrieved

Returns:

the int denoting the pruning event associated with given variable.

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.

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.

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.

getDefaultNestedNotConsistencyPruningEvent

protected int getDefaultNestedNotConsistencyPruningEvent()

Overrides:

getDefaultNestedNotConsistencyPruningEvent in class PrimitiveConstraint

getDefaultNestedConsistencyPruningEvent

protected int getDefaultNestedConsistencyPruningEvent()

Overrides:

getDefaultNestedConsistencyPruningEvent in class PrimitiveConstraint

getDefaultNotConsistencyPruningEvent

protected int getDefaultNotConsistencyPruningEvent()

Specified by:

getDefaultNotConsistencyPruningEvent in class PrimitiveConstraint

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Constraint

It produces a string representation of a constraint state.

Overrides:

toString in class Constraint
