Detailed Description

All variants for linear constraints over integer variables share the following properties:

  • Bounds consistency (over the real numbers) is supported for all constraints (actually, for disequlities always domain consistency is used as it is cheaper). Domain consistency is supported for all non-reified constraint. As bounds consistency for inequalities coincides with domain consistency, the only real variation is for linear equations. Domain consistent linear equations have exponential complexity, so use with care!
  • Variables occurring multiply in the argument arrays are replaced by a single occurrence: for example, $ax+bx$ becomes $(a+b)x$.
  • If in the above simplification the value for $(a+b)$ (or for $a$ and $b$) exceeds the limits for integers as defined in Int::Limits, an exception of type Int::OutOfLimits is thrown.
  • Assume the constraint $\sum_{i=0}^{|x|-1}a_i\cdot x_i\sim_{irt} c$. If $|c|+\sum_{i=0}^{|x|-1}a_i\cdot x_i$ exceeds the maximal available precision (at least $2^{48}$), an exception of type Int::OutOfLimits is thrown.
  • In all other cases, the created propagators are accurate (that is, they will not silently overflow during propagation).
