Constructor Detail

PropLargeMDDC

public PropLargeMDDC(MultivaluedDecisionDiagram MDD,
                     IntVar... VARS)

Create a propagator maintaining GAC based on a MDD. The MDD can be shared between multiple propagators, no copy is achieved.

Parameters:

MDD - Multi-valued Decision Diagram, stores the solutions

VARS - the related variables -- the order is important, and need to match the MDD.

Method Detail

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.

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
