Representing and Solving Finite−Domain Constraint Problems Using Systems of Polynomials

In this paper we investigate the use of a system of multivariate polynomials to represent the restrictions imposed by a collection of constraints. The advantage of using polynomials to represent constraints is that it allows many different forms of constraints to be treated in a uniform way. Systems...
