Abstract

Subdefinite models, described in [11], are a common approach to representation and processing of partial specifications. This approach is closely related to constraint programming, and, actually, is a method for constructing constraint satisfaction algorithms. The paper describes subdefinite models themselves, the method of their integration into logic programming, and two calculators created on the basis of this method. Results of a comparison of these calculators with the best available calculators designed for the same purpose are given. Applications are listed that were developed on the base of these calculators for solving problems of SAPR and computational geometry.
