Implementing backjumping by throw/1 and catch/3 of Prolog (2008.09610v3)
Published 21 Aug 2020 in cs.PL and cs.LO
Abstract: We discuss how to implement backjumping (or intelligent backtracking) in Prolog programs by means of exception handling. This seems impossible in a general case. We provide two solutions. One works for binary programs; in a general case it imposes a restriction on where backjumping may originate. The other restricts a class of backjump targets. We also show how to simulate backjumping by means of backtracking and the Prolog database.
