Class MultiModel

      net.sf.cpsolver.ifs.multi.MultiModel

public class MultiModel
extends Model

Multi-variable model. Model containing MultiVariable variables. Such variables are excluded from the solver process, however, they can be included in constraints. Such model can allow us to build a solution on top of another solution (e.g., committed classes in the course timetabling). Constant variable has to implement interface ConstantVariable, returning ConstantVariable.isConstant() true.

Method Detail

addVariable

public void addVariable(Variable variable)

Description copied from class: Model

Adds a variable to the model

Overrides:

addVariable in class Model

removeVariable

public void removeVariable(Variable variable)

Description copied from class: Model

Removes a variable from the model

Overrides:

removeVariable in class Model

getMultiVariable

public MultiVariable getMultiVariable(Variable variable)

Returns a MultiVariable for the given "normal" variable.

conflictValues

public Set conflictValues(Value value)

Description copied from class: Model

Returns the set of confliction variables with this value, if it is assigned to its variable

Overrides:

conflictValues in class Model

conflictConstraints

public Hashtable conflictConstraints(Value value)

Description copied from class: Model

The list of constraints which are in a conflict with the given value if it is assigned to its variable. This means the constraints, which adds a value into the set of conflicting values in Constraint.computeConflicts(Value, Set).

Overrides:
