Field Detail

a

public SetVar a

It specifies variable a.

b

public SetVar b

It specifies variable b.

strict

public boolean strict

It specifies if the inclusion relation is strict.

Constructor Detail

AinB

public AinB(SetVar a,
            SetVar b)

It constructs an AinB constraint to restrict the domain of the variables A and B. By default this inclusion relation does not have to be strict.

Parameters:

a - variable a that is restricted to be a subset of b.

b - variable that is restricted to contain a.

AinB

public AinB(SetVar a,
            SetVar b,
            boolean strict)

It constructs an AinB constraint to restrict the domain of the variables A and B.

Parameters:

a - variable a that is restricted to be a subset of variable b.

b - variable that is restricted to contain variable a.

strict - it specifies if the inclusion relation is strict.

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.

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.

getDefaultNestedConsistencyPruningEvent

protected int getDefaultNestedConsistencyPruningEvent()

Overrides:

getDefaultNestedConsistencyPruningEvent in class PrimitiveConstraint

getDefaultNestedNotConsistencyPruningEvent

protected int getDefaultNestedNotConsistencyPruningEvent()

Overrides:

getDefaultNestedNotConsistencyPruningEvent in class PrimitiveConstraint

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent

public int getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent()

Specified by:

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent in class Constraint

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
