Constraint satisfaction and semilinear expansions of addition over the rationals and the reals

作者:

Highlights:

• Constraint satisfaction with semilinear relations and addition is in P or is NP-hard.

• We present an algorithm for a subfamily of problems based on computing affine hulls.

• Linear optimisation is often polynomial-time equivalent to the decision problem.

• We characterise those problems where integer feasibility equals rational feasibility.
