Constraint
71Constraint Propagation — A parallel processing technique used to locate data by simultaneously evaluating and exclude many possibilities in an expert system decision tree. See also Expert system …
72Complexity 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… …
73Decomposition 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… …
74Concurrent constraint logic programming — is a version of constraint logic programming aimed primarily at programming concurrent processes rather than (or in addition to) solving constraint satisfaction problems. Goals in constraint logic programming are evaluated concurrently; a… …
75Distributed constraint optimization — (DCOP or DisCOP) is the distributed analogue to constraint optimization. A DCOP is a problem in which a group of agents must distributedly choose values for a set of variables such that the cost of a set of constraints over the variables is… …
76Check Constraint — A check constraint (also known as table check constraint) is a condition that defines valid data when adding or updating an entry in a table of a relational database. A check constraint is applied to each row in the table. The constraint must be… …
77First class constraint — In Hamiltonian mechanics, consider a symplectic manifold M with a smooth Hamiltonian over it (for field theories, M would be infinite dimensional). Poisson bracketsSuppose we have some constraints : f i(x)=0, for n smooth functions :{ f i } {i=… …
78Hybrid 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,… …
79Outrage constraint — In corporate governance, the outrage constraint is an upper limit on executive pay.[1][2][3][4] References ^ Krugman, Paul (2002 08 23) …
80Local 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… …
