摘要: Conway's game of Life provides an interesting testbed for exploring issues in formulation, symmetry, and optimization with constraint programming hybrid programming/integer methods. We consider three pattern-creation problems: finding maximum density still-Lifes, smallest immediate predecessor patterns, period-2 oscillators. For the first two problems, integrating integer approaches a much better solution procedure than either individually. final problem, formulation approach.
