         IntVar[] dy,

Method Detail

getPropagationConditions

public int getPropagationConditions(int idx)

Description copied from class: Propagator

Return the specific mask indicating the variable events on which this Propagator object can react.
Checks are made applying bitwise AND between the mask and the event. Reacts to any kind of event by default.

Overrides:

getPropagationConditions in class Propagator<IntVar>

Parameters:

idx - index of the variable within the propagator

Returns:

int composed of REMOVE and/or INSTANTIATE and/or DECUPP and/or INCLOW

propagate

public void propagate(int varIdx,
             int mask)
               throws ContradictionException

Description copied from class: Propagator

Incremental filtering algorithm defined within the Propagator, called whenever the variable of index idxVarInProp has changed. This method calls a CUSTOM_PROPAGATION (coarse-grained) by default.

This method should be overridden if the argument reactToFineEvt is set to true in the constructor. Otherwise, it executes propagate(PropagatorEventType.CUSTOM_PROPAGATION.getStrengthenedMask());

Overrides:

propagate in class Propagator<IntVar>

Parameters:

varIdx - index of the variable var in this

mask - type of event

Throws:

ContradictionException - if a contradiction occurs

propagate

public void propagate(int evtmask)
               throws ContradictionException

Description copied from class: Propagator

Call the main filtering algorithm to apply to the Domain of the Variable objects. It considers the current state of this objects to remove some values from domains and/or instantiate some variables. Calling this method is done from 2 (and only 2) steps:
- at the initial propagation step,
- when involved in a reified constraint.
It should initialized the internal data structure and apply filtering algorithm from scratch.

Specified by:

propagate in class Propagator<IntVar>

Parameters:

evtmask - type of propagation event this must consider.

Throws:

ContradictionException - when a contradiction occurs, like domain wipe out or other incoherencies.

filterFromBox

protected void filterFromBox(int i)
                      throws ContradictionException

Throws:

ContradictionException

isEntailed

public ESat isEntailed()

Description copied from class: Propagator

Check wether this is entailed according to the current state of its internal structure. At least, should check the satisfaction of this (when all is instantiated).

Specified by:

isEntailed in class Propagator<IntVar>

Returns:

ESat.TRUE if entailed, ESat.FALSE if not entailed, ESat.UNDEFINED if unknown

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Propagator<IntVar>

duplicate

public void duplicate(Solver solver,
             gnu.trove.map.hash.THashMap<Object,Object> identitymap)

Description copied from class: Propagator

Duplicate the current propagator. A restriction is that the resolution process should have not begun yet. That's why state of the propagator may not be duplicated.

Overrides:

duplicate in class Propagator<IntVar>

Parameters:

solver - the target solver

identitymap - a map to ensure uniqueness of objects
