Abstract

Coupling constraints and ordinary differential equations has numerous applications. This paper shows how to introduce constraints involving ordinary differential equations into the numerical constraint satisfaction problem framework in a natural and efficient way. Slightly adapted standard filtering algorithms proposed in the numerical constraint satisfaction problem framework are applied to these constraints leading to a branch and prune algorithm that handles ordinary differential equations based constraints. Preliminary experiments are presented.
