Question 1: Filtering a Circuit Constaint

Assume the fixing x[6]=7 occurs. Who will remove the value 7 from the domain of x[12] ?

The Alldifferent constraint

The Element constraint

The Sum constraint

The subtour-elimination filtering

Question 2: Subtour Elimination Filtering

What additional edge will be removed by the subtour-elimination filtering algorithm for the Circuit constraint if the fixing x[6]=7 occurs?

4 -> 0

12 -> 0

0 -> 4

0 -> 12

8 -> 6

6 -> 8

Question 3: Circuit Filtering

Select all the statements that are true:

The consistency test that verifies that there is a unique strongly connected component can be achieved in O(n) time, where n is the number of variables in the scope of the Circuit constraint.

Achieving domain consistency for a Circuit constraint is an NP-hard problem.

The subtour-elimination filtering algorithm runs in O(n) time in the worst case, which can be lowered to O(number of new fixed variables).

Question 4: Large Neighborhood Search

Select all the true statements:

LNS is a local-search approach where CP can be used to explore the neighborhood.

The first solution with LNS needs to be found by CP.

A restart in LNS can be caused because the restricted problem has been exhaustively explored.

A restart in LNS is always caused by reaching the limit on the number of failures.

LNS with a relaxation of 5% of randomly selected variables can always prove the optimality if enough restarts are performed.

Increasing the failure limit and the number of relaxed variables augments the time between two restarts.

Increasing the number of relaxed variables increases the time between two restarts.
