A model of constraint solvers by chaotic iteration adapted to value withdrawal explanations LIFO, EMN Gerard Ferrand, Willy Lesaint, Alexandre Tessier public, rapport de recherche D1.1.1 Abstract The aim of this report is to provide the theoretical foundations of domain reduc- tion. The model is well suited to the solvers on nite domains which are used on the respective platforms of each partner of the project: GNU-Prolog (INRIA), CHIP (COSYTEC) and PaLM (EMN). A computation is formalized by a chaotic iteration of operators and the result is described as a closure. The model is well suited to the denition of traces and explanations which will be useful for the debugging of con- straint programs. This report only deals with the reduction stage. It will be extended to the labeling and the host language in next reports. 1 Introduction Constraint Logic Programming (CLP) [12] can be viewed as the reunion of two program- ming paradigms : logic programming and constraint programming. Declarative debugging of constraints logic programs has been treated in previous works and tools have been pro- duced for this aim during the DiSCiPl (Debugging Systems for Constraint Programming) ESPRIT Project [8, 15]. But these works deal with the clausal aspects of CLP.
