Talk:Constraint satisfaction problem

After giving this some thought, I support keeping the articles separate.

But the cleanup and hopefull expansion could include expansion of the constraint satisfaction problem page, and simplification of the constraint satisfaction article's explanation of formal algorithms. That other page is written in a way that is most accessible to the general reader not familiar with technical detail on either the subject or methods similar to those use in CSP programming and should remain generally accessible without going into great detail of solutions of CSP problems -- precisely where references to the constraint satisfaction problem or other more techical pages should be made.

Then the constraint satisfaction problem page should expand on algorithms and methods based on tree search and other methods, with links to individual algorithms by name.

My time is limited at this point, but in the next year I will see what I can do. Especially the constraint satisfaction problem page should be expanded to include more algorithms and history. I repeated part of this note from edited form on constraint satisfaction page.

Is it really necessary to treat "respective domain of values" D and "set of constraints" C separately, because "respective domains of values" seem to be just constraints involving a single variable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikko.nummelin (talk • contribs) 18:06, 2 April 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

This is standard usage in most of the literature. Ott2 (talk) 17:36, 3 April 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

The initialism 'DCSP' is ambiguous. The article uses it as shorthand for both "Decentralized" CSPs and "Dynamic" CSPs. Two questions arise:

1. Does this reflect current practice in the literature?
2. How not to confuse our readers? More specifically, should we:

• note that current practice is ambiguous; or alternatively,
• avoid the conflict by spelling out one of the two?

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Constraint satisfaction problem. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20090206055207/http://www.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~ianm/docs/Thesis.ppt to http://www.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~ianm/docs/Thesis.ppt
• Added {{dead link}} tag to https://eprints.kfupm.edu.sa/50799/1/50799.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Shouldn't the constraints ${\displaystyle t_{j}\subset X}${\displaystyle t_{j}\subset X} in the formal definition be ordered subsets of ${\displaystyle X}${\displaystyle X}? If not, what does it mean that the values assigned to the variables satisfy the relation ${\displaystyle R_{j}}${\displaystyle R_{j}}. Relations are sets of ordered tuples.

I apologize but I don't know how to change language list and have no time to do it. But I found an article im my native language - polish (Republic of Poland) on Wiki, related to the same subject, and hope to somebody add it to language list. Thank you.
