METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING IMPLICATION AND DECISION MAKING USING MULTIPLE VALUE SYSTEMS DURING CONSTRAINT SOLVING

摘要

Methods and apparatuses are described for assigning random values to a set of random variables so that the assigned random values satisfy a set of constraints. An embodiment can receive a set of constraints, wherein each constraint is defined over one or more random variables from a set of random variables. Next, the embodiment can generate a circuit model based on the set of constraints, wherein assignable values for at least one node in the circuit model are represented in multiple value systems. The embodiment can then assign random values to the set of random variables based on the circuit model.
