Sets

Domain{T <: Number}(values::Set{T})

The set corresponding to an enumeration of constant values.

The value of a scalar function is enforced to take a value from this set of values.

This constraint is sometimes called in, member or allowed_assignments. https://sofdem.github.io/gccat/gccat/Cdomain.html

Example

x in Domain(1:3)
# enforces `x == 1` OR `x == 2` OR `x == 3`.

VectorDomain{T <: Number}(dimension::Int, values::Set{Vector{T}})

The set corresponding to an enumeration of constant values.

The value of a vector function is enforced to take a value from this set of vector values.

This constraint is sometimes called in, member or allowed_assignments. https://sofdem.github.io/gccat/gccat/Cdomain.html

Example

[x, y] in Domain(2, Set([[1, 2], [2, 3]]))
# enforces (`x == 1` AND `y == 2`) OR (`x == 2` AND `y == 3`).

AntiDomain{T <: Number}(values::Set{T})

The set corresponding to an enumeration of constant values that are excluded.

The value of a scalar function is enforced to take a value that is not from this set of values.

This constraint is sometimes called (not_in)[https://sofdem.github.io/gccat/gccat/Cnotin.html], `notmember,rel,forbiddenassignments, ornogood`.

Example

x in AntiDomain(1:3)
# enforces `x != 1` AND `x != 2` AND `x != 3`.

VectorAntiDomain{T <: Number}(values::Set{T})

The set corresponding to an enumeration of constant values that are excluded.

The value of a vector function is enforced to take a value that is not from this set of vector values.

This constraint is sometimes called (not_in)[https://sofdem.github.io/gccat/gccat/Cnotin.html], `notmember,rel,forbiddenassignments, ornogood`.

Example

[x, y] in VectorAntiDomain(2, Set([[1, 2], [2, 3]]))
# enforces (`x != 1` AND `y != 2`) OR (`x != 2` AND `y != 3`).

Membership(dimension)

The first element of a function of dimension dimension must equal at least one of the following dimension - 1 elements of the function.

This constraint is sometimes called in_set.

Example

[x, y, z] in Membership(3)
# enforces `x == y` OR `x == z`.

Element{T <: Real}(values::Vector{T})

$\{(x, i) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{N} | x = values[i]\}$

Less formally, the first element constrained in this set will take the value of values at the index given by the second element.

Also called indexing or nth.

Examples

[x, 3] in Element([4, 5, 6])
# Enforces that x = 6, because 6 is the 3rd element from the array.

[y, j] in Element([4, 5, 6])
# Enforces that y = array[j], depending on the value of j (an integer
# between 1 and 3).

ElementVariableArray(dimension::Int)

$\{(x, i, values) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{R}^{\mathtt{dimension}} | x = values[i]\}$

Less formally, the first element constrained in this set will take the value of values at the index given by the second element in the array given by the remaining elements constrained in the set.

Examples

[x, 3, a, b, c] in ElementVariableArray(3)
# Enforces that x = c, because 6 is the 3rd element from the array [a, b, c].

[y, j, a, b, c] in ElementVariableArray(3)
# Enforces that y = array[j], depending on the value of j (an integer
# between 1 and 3), from the array [a, b, c].

AllEqual(dimension::Int)

The set corresponding to an all-equal constraint.

All expressions of a vector-valued function are enforced to take the same value in the solution.

Example

[x, y, z] in AllEqual(3)
# enforces `x == y` AND `x == z`.

AllDifferent(dimension::Int)

The set corresponding to an all-different constraint.

All expressions of a vector-valued function are enforced to take distinct values in the solution: for all pairs of expressions, their values must differ.

This constraint is sometimes called distinct.

Example

[x, y, z] in AllDifferent(3)
# enforces `x != y` AND `x != z` AND `y != z`.

AllDifferentExceptConstants{T <: Number}(dimension::Int, k::Set{T})

All expressions of a vector-valued function are enforced to take distinct values in the solution, but values equal to any value in k are not considered: for all pairs of expressions, either their values must differ or at least one of the two variables has a value in k.

This constraint is sometimes called distinct.

Example

[x, y] in AllDifferentExceptConstant(2, 0)
# enforces `x != y` OR `x == 0` OR `y == 0`.

[x, y] in AllDifferentExceptConstant(2, Set([0, 1]))
# enforces `x != y` OR `x == 0` OR `y == 0` OR `x == 1` OR `y == 1`.

Special case of AllDifferentExceptConstants where only one value is ignored.

SymmetricAllDifferent(dimension::Int)

The set corresponding to an all-different constraint, with the additional requirement that the array must be symmetric.

All expressions of a vector-valued function are enforced to take distinct values in the solution: for all pairs of expressions, their values must differ. Symmetry means that, if $x[i]=j$, then $x[j]=i$.

This constraint is sometimes called symmetric_alldifferent.

Example

[x, y, z] in SymmetricAllDifferent(3)
# enforces `x != y` AND `x != z` AND `y != z` AND `(x == 2 => y == 1)` AND 
# `(x == 3 => z = 1)` AND `(y == 1 => x == 2)` AND `(y == 3 => z == 2)` AND 
# `(z == 1 => x == 3)` AND `(z == 2 => y == 3)`.

DifferentFrom{T <: Number}(value::T)

$\Big\{x \in \mathbb{S}^{\mathtt{dimension}} \Big| |x_i - x_j| \geq k, \forall i \neq j \in \{1, 2\dots \mathtt{dimension}\} \Big\}$

Also called all_min_dist or inter_distance.

MaximumDistance{T <: Real}(dimension::Int, k::T)

Ensures that all the dimension expressions in this set are at most k apart, in absolute value:

$\Big\{x \in \mathbb{S}^{\mathtt{dimension}} \Big| |x_i - x_j| \leq k, \forall i \neq j \in \{1, 2\dots \mathtt{dimension}\} \Big\}$

Inverse(dimension::Int)

Indices start at 1, like Julia.

Also called channel, inverse_channeling, or assignment.

SlidingSum{T}(low::T, high::T, length::Int, dimension::Int)

Ensures that the sum of all sequences of size length have a value between low and high.

$\{x \in \mathbb{R}^{\mathtt{dimension}} | \mathtt{low} \leq \sum_{j=i}^{i+\mathtt{length}-1} x_i \leq \mathtt{high}, \forall i \in \{ 0, 1 \dots \mathtt{dimension} - \mathtt{length} \} \}$

https://sofdem.github.io/gccat/gccat/Csliding_sum.html

ValuePrecedence(before::T, value::T, dimension::Int)

https://sofdem.github.io/gccat/gccat/Cintvalueprecede.html

Contiguity(dimension::Int)

Ensures that, in the binary variables x constrained to be in this set, all the 1s are contiguous. The vector must correspond to the regular expression 0*1*0*.

BinPacking(n_bins::Int, n_items::Int, weights::Vector{T})

Uncapacitated bin packing

Implements an uncapacitated version of the bin-packing problem.

The first n_bins variables give the load in each bin, the last n_items give the number of the bin to which the item is assigned to.

The load of a bin is defined as the sum of the sizes of the items put in that bin.

Also called pack.

Example

[a, b, c] in BinPacking{NO_CAPACITY_BINPACKING}(1, 2, [2, 3])
# As there is only one bin, the only solution is to put all the items in 
# that bin.
# Enforces that:
# - the bin load is the sum of the weights of the objects in that bin: 
#   a = 2 + 3
# - the bin number of the two items is 1: b = c = 1

Fixed-capacity bin packing

Implements a capacitated version of the bin-packing problem where capacities are constant.

The first n_bins variables give the load in each bin, the last n_items give the number of the bin to which the item is assigned to.

The load of a bin is defined as the sum of the sizes of the items put in that bin.

This constraint is equivalent to BinPacking with inequality constraints on the loads of the bins where the upper bound is a constant. However, there are more efficient propagators for the combined constraint (bin packing with maximum load); if such propagators are not available, bridges are available to make the conversion seamless.

Also called bin_packing_capa.

Example

[a, b, c] in BinPacking{FIXED_CAPACITY_BINPACKING}(1, 2, [2, 3], [4])
# As there is only one bin, the only solution is to put all the items in
# that bin if its capacity is large enough.
# Enforces that:
# - the bin load is the sum of the weights of the objects in that bin: 
#   a = 2 + 3
# - the bin load is at most its capacity: a <= 4 (given in the set)
# - the bin number of the two items is 1: b = c = 1

Variable-capacity bin packing

Implements an capacitated version of the bin-packing problem where capacities are optimisation variables.

The first n_bins variables give the load in each bin, the next n_bins are the capacity of each bin, the last n_items give the number of the bin to which the item is assigned to.

The load of a bin is defined as the sum of the sizes of the items put in that bin.

This constraint is equivalent to BinPacking with inequality constraints on the loads of the bins where the upper bound is any expression. However, there are more efficient propagators for the combined constraint (bin packing with maximum load) and for the fixed-capacity version.

Also called bin_packing_capa.

Example

[a, 2, b, c] in BinPacking{VARIABLE_CAPACITY_BINPACKING}(1, 2, [2, 3])
# As there is only one bin, the only solution is to put all the items in
# that bin if its capacity is large enough.
# Enforces that:
# - the bin load is the sum of the weights of the objects in that bin: 
#   a = 2 + 3
# - the bin load is at most its capacity: a <= 2 (given in a variable)
# - the bin number of the two items is 1: b = c = 1

Whether the capacities of a BinPacking constraint are fixed:

• either there is no capacity: NO_CAPACITY_BINPACKING
• or the capacity values are fixed when creating the set: FIXED_CAPACITY_BINPACKING
• or the capacity values are themselves variable: VARIABLE_CAPACITY_BINPACKING

Knapsack{KCT, KVT, T <: Real}(weights::T, capacity::Vector{T})

Variable capacity, valued

Ensures that the first n variables respect a knapsack constraint with fixed weights and a capacity given by the last-but-one variable; the total value is the last variable:

$\{(x, y, z) \in \{0, 1\}^n \times \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} | \sum_{i=1}^n \mathtt{weights[i]} x_i \leq y \land z = \sum_{i=1}^n \mathtt{values[i]} x_i \}$.

• either the value is not available: UNVALUED_KNAPSACK
• or the value is available as a new variable: VALUED_KNAPSACK

# w == sum([w, x] .== [y, z])

CountDistinct(dimension::Int)

The first variable in the set is forced to be the number of distinct values in the rest of the expressions.

This is a relaxed version of AllDifferent; it encodes an AllDifferent constraint when the first variable is the number of variables in the set.

Also called nvalues.

Example

[x, y, z] in CountDistinct(3)
# x = 1 if y == z, x = 2 if y != z

The first dimension variables are an array, the next n_values variables are the number of times that each item of the last n_values variables is present in the first array. Each value of the first array must be within the next given n_values.

Also called distribute.

CumulativeResource{CRDT}(n_tasks::Int)

This set models most variants of task scheduling with cumulative resource usage. Presence of deadlines can be indicated with the CumulativeResourceDeadlineType enumeration.

Without deadline

Each task is given by a minimum start time (the first n_tasks variables), a duration (the next n_tasks variables), and the resource consumption (the following n_tasks variables). The final variable is the maximum amount of the resource available.

Also called cumulative. This version does not consider end deadlines for tasks.

With variable deadline

• or deadlines are given as variables: VARIABLE_DEADLINE_CUMULATIVE_RESOURCE

NonOverlappingOrthotopes{NOOCT}(n_orthotopes::Int, n_dimensions::Int)

This set corresponds to a guarantee that orthotopes do not overlap. Some orthotopes can optionally be disabled for the constraint (guided by variables), based on the value of NonOverlappingOrthotopesConditionalityType.

Unconditional constraint

Guarantees that the n_orthotopes orthotopes do not overlap. The orthotopes live in various dimensions: segments if n_dimensions = 1, rectangles if n_dimensions = 2, rectangular parallelepiped if n_dimensions = 3, hyperrectangles otherwise.

The variables are packed by orthotope:

• the first n_dimensions are the origin of the orthotope
• the next n_dimensions are the size of the orthotope in each dimension
• the last n_dimensions are the destination of the orthotope. These variables are automatically constrained to be origin + size (unlike other modelling layers, such as Gecode)

The set can be defined as:

$(o_1, s_1, d_1, o_2, s_2, d_2 \dots o_\mathtt{o}, s_\mathtt{o}, d_\mathtt{o}) \in \mathbb{R}^{3 \times \mathtt{o} \times \mathtt{d} }$

Also called diffn, geost, nooverlap, diff2, or disjoint.

Example: two 2-D rectangles

[x1, y1, w1, h1, x1e, y1e, x2, y2, w2, h2, x2e, y2e] in NonOverlappingOrthotopes(2, 2)
# Enforces the following five constraints: 
#   OR(
#     x1 + w1 <= x2,
#     x2 + w2 <= x1,
#     y1 + h1 <= y2,
#     y2 + h2 <= y1
#   )
#   x1e = x1 + w1
#   y1e = y1 + h1
#   x2e = x2 + w2
#   y2e = y2 + h2

Conditional constraint

Guarantees that the n_orthotopes orthotopes do not overlap, with a binary variable indicating whether a given orthotope must not overlap with other orthotopes (if 1) or if it can be ignored (if 0). The orthotopes live in various dimensions: segments if n_dimensions = 1, rectangles if n_dimensions = 2, rectangular parallelepiped if n_dimensions = 3, hyperrectangles otherwise.

The variables are packed by orthotope:

• the first n_dimensions are the origin of the orthotope
• the next n_dimensions are the size of the orthotope in each dimension
• the next n_dimensions are the destination of the orthotope. These variables are automatically constrained to be origin + size (unlike other modelling layers, such as Gecode)
• the last variable indicates whether the orthotope is mandatory (true) or optional (false)

The set can be defined as:

$(o_1, s_1, d_1, m_1, o_2, s_2, d_2, m_2 \dots o_\mathtt{o}, s_\mathtt{o}, d_\mathtt{o}, m_\mathtt{o}) \in \prod_{i=1}^{\mathtt{o}} (\mathbb{R}^{3 \times \mathtt{d} \times \{0, 1\}) }$

Also called diffn, nooverlap, or disjointconditional.

NonOverlappingOrthotopesConditionalityType

The matrix is encoded by stacking the columns, matching the behaviour of Julia's vec function.

LexicographicallyGreaterThan(row_dim::Int, column_dim::Int)

Ensures that each column of the matrix is lexicographically greater than the next column.

Formally, for two columns:

$\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R}^\mathtt{column\_dim} \times \mathbb{R}^\mathtt{column\_dim} | xists j \in \{1, 2 \dots \mathtt{column\_dim}\}: x_j > y_j, \forall i < j, x_i = y_i \}$.

Also called lex_greater.

The matrix is encoded by stacking the columns, matching the behaviour of Julia's vec function.

DoublyLexicographicallyLessThan(dimension::Int)

Ensures that each column of the matrix is lexicographically less than the next column, and that each row of the matrix is lexicographically less than the next row.

Also called lex2.

The matrix is encoded by stacking the columns, matching the behaviour of Julia's vec function.

DoublyLexicographicallyGreaterThan(dimension::Int)

Ensures that each column of the matrix is lexicographically greater than the next column, and that each row of the matrix is lexicographically greater than the next row.

The matrix is encoded by stacking the columns, matching the behaviour of Julia's vec function.

Sort(dimension::Int)

Ensures that the first dimension elements is a sorted copy of the next dimension elements.

Example

[a, b, c, d] in Sort(2)
# Enforces that:
# - the first part is sorted: a <= b
# - the first part corresponds to the second one:
#     - either a = c and b = d
#     - or a = d and b = c

SortPermutation(dimension::Int)

Ensures that the first dimension elements is a sorted copy of the next dimension elements.

The last dimension elements give a permutation to get from the original array to its sorted version.

Example

[a, b, c, d, i, j] in SortPermutation(2)
# Enforces that:
# - the first part is sorted: a <= b
# - the first part corresponds to the second one:
#     - either a = c and b = d: in this case, i = 1 and j = 2
#     - or a = d and b = c: in this case, i = 2 and j = 1

MaximumAmong(dimension::Int)

Ensures that the first element is the maximum value among the next dimension elements.

Example

[a, b, c] in MaximumAmong(2)
# Enforces that a == max(b, c)

MinimumAmong(dimension::Int)

Ensures that the first element is the minimum value among the next dimension elements.

Example

[a, b, c] in MinimumAmong(2)
# Enforces that a == min(b, c)

ArgumentMaximumAmong(dimension::Int)

Ensures that the first element is the index of the maximum value among the next dimension elements.

Example

[a, b, c] in ArgumentMaximumAmong(2)
# Enforces that a == argmax(b, c)
# I.e., if b > c, a = 1, if b < c, a = 2

ArgumentMinimumAmong(dimension::Int)

Ensures that the first element is the index of the minimum value among the next dimension elements.

Example

[a, b, c] in ArgumentMinimumAmong(2)
# Enforces that a == argmin(b, c)
# I.e., if b < c, a = 1, if b > c, a = 2

Strictly{S <: Union{LessThan{T}, GreaterThan{T}, LexicographicallyGreaterThan}}

Converts an inequality set to a set with the same inequality made strict. For example, while LessThan(1) corresponds to the inequality x <= 1, Strictly(LessThan(1)) corresponds to the inequality x < 1.

Example

x in Strictly(LessThan(1))
