In this paper, we expose some properties of two classes of constraints, functional and bijective constraints: we first present conditions under which arc and path consistencies are sufficient to guarantee the existence of a bactrack free solution; we then exhibit classes of polynomial problems, and finally we propose a new method of decomposition for problems containing functional or bijective constraints. An interesting point in this method is that th e resolution complexity is known prior to the search.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/32","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/0032.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/32.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/bibtex/32","volume":{"slug":"1993","title":"Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1993","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/","year":1993,"location":"Chambéry, France","dates":"","editors":"Ruzena Bajcsy","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Constraint Satisfaction Problems","track":"Constraint Satisfaction Problems","number":32,"pages":{"first":224,"last":230},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
