public class PropAllDiffAC
extends Propagator<IntVar>

Propagator for AllDifferent AC constraint for integer variables

Uses Regin algorithm Runs in O(m.n) worst case time for the initial propagation but has a good average behavior in practice

Runs incrementally for maintaining a matching

PropAllDiffAC

public PropAllDiffAC(IntVar[] variables)

AllDifferent constraint for integer variables enables to control the cardinality of the matching

Parameters:

variables - array of integer variables

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
