Constraint Satisfaction Problems

Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) are mathematical problems where you need to find an arrangement that meets specific conditions or restrictions. Imagine organizing a party with guests who have preferences—like dietary restrictions or seating choices. The goal is to assign seats so everyone is happy while adhering to these constraints. In essence, CSPs involve finding solutions that satisfy all given conditions, making them relevant in various fields such as scheduling, resource allocation, and puzzle-solving. By systematically testing possibilities, we can identify valid arrangements that fulfill all the requirements.
