Purpose

Enforce all the variables of the collection πš…π™°πšπ™Έπ™°π™±π™»π™΄πš‚ to take a value within the interval [π™»π™Ύπš†,πš„π™Ώ].

Example
(2,8,2,1,9)

The πšπš˜πš–πšŠπš’πš— constraint holds since all the values 2, 8 and 2 of its first argument are greater than or equal to its second argument π™»π™Ύπš†=1 and less than or equal to its third argument πš„π™Ώ=9.

Typical
|πš…π™°πšπ™Έπ™°π™±π™»π™΄πš‚|>1
π™»π™Ύπš†<πš„π™Ώ
Symmetries
  • Items of πš…π™°πšπ™Έπ™°π™±π™»π™΄πš‚ are permutable.

  • An occurrence of a value of πš…π™°πšπ™Έπ™°π™±π™»π™΄πš‚.πšŸπšŠπš› can be replaced by any other value in [π™»π™Ύπš†,πš„π™Ώ].

  • π™»π™Ύπš† can be decreased.

  • πš„π™Ώ can be increased.

  • One and the same constant can be added to the πšŸπšŠπš› attribute of all items of πš…π™°πšπ™Έπ™°π™±π™»π™΄πš‚ as well as to π™»π™Ύπš† and πš„π™Ώ.

Arg. properties

Contractible wrt. πš…π™°πšπ™Έπ™°π™±π™»π™΄πš‚.

Remark

The πšπš˜πš–πšŠπš’πš— constraint is called πšπš˜πš– in Gecode (http://www.gecode.org/).
