Abstract

One of the main objectives of engineering design is to find a design that is the cheapest among all designs that satisfy given constraints. Most of the constraints must be satisfied under all possible values within certain ranges. Checking all possible combinations of values is often very time-consuming. In this paper, we propose a faster algorithm for checking such constraints.
