dc.description 2nd International Conference on Integration of AI and OR Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimization Problems -- MAY 30-JUN 01, 2005 -- Prague, CZECH REPUBLIC en_US
dc.description.abstract The NVALUE constraint counts the number of different values assigned to a vector of variables. Propagating generalized arc consistency on this constraint is NP-hard. We show that computing even the lower bound on the number of values is NP-hard. We therefore study different approximation heuristics for this problem. We introduce three new methods for computing a lower bound on the number of values. The first two are based on the maximum independent set problem and are incomparable to a previous approach based on intervals. The last method is a linear relaxation of the problem. This gives a tighter lower bound than all other methods, but at a greater asymptotic cost. en_US
