Lecture 15 - Constraint Satisfaction Problems

• rating: 3

This is an archive of the page http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~sgc/teaching/pre2012/v231/lecture15.html, including all inline images, that was saved sometime in the 2010's. This page is also archived in the Wayback Machine, however no snapshot on web.archive.org seems to have saved the images correctly.

There are also slides (in Powerpoint format) to go with the lecture (see [Lecture 15 - Constraint Satisfaction Problems (slides)][]) - but they tell an abbreviated version of the story.

There is also a web page with a more narrative version of this lecture - see [Lecture 15 - Constraint Satisfaction Problems][].

• rating: 2
