Abstract

We present a method of determining the satisfiability of a Boolean combination

    of difference constraints in the form x - y <= c.  In particular, we work
    within the DPLL[T] framework for satisfiability checking modulo theories, and
    present a novel theory solver for the theory of difference constraints.  In
    applying the solver to both scheduling and circuit timing problems, we show
    that using semi-lazy, incomplete constraint propogation significantly
    outperforms methods which make use of either complete propogation or no
    propogation.
