Previous approaches for scheduling a league with round-robin and divisional tournaments involved decomposing the problem into easier subproblems. This approach, used to schedule the top Swedish handball league Elitserien, reduces the problem complexity but can result in suboptimal schedules. This paper presents an integrated constraint programming model that allows to perform the scheduling in ...

Abstract This paper studies a general model of matching with constraints. Observing that stable typically does not exist, we focus on feasible, individually rational, and fair matchings. We characterize such matchings by fixed points certain function. Building this result, the class constraints individual schools under which there exists student-optimal matching, is most preferred every student...

metathesis as a phonological phenomenon in order to reverse segments has been focus of many studies. metathesis according to the range of application can be sporadic or regular. it links synchronic studies of language to diachronic ones and thereby has some consequences for phonological theory. the central goal of this paper is to elucidate the conditions under which metathesis occurs synchroni...
