What Researchers SayAbout CHR One of the most powerful multiset rewriting languages. Kazunori Ueda, Waseda University, Japan Consistently outperforms Rete-based rule-based systems. Peter Van Weert, K.U. Leuven Significant speed up when executed on multi-core systems. Edmund S. L. Lam, National University of Singapore Lingua franca, a hub which collects and dispenses research e↵orts from and to the various related fields. Jon Sneyers, K.U. Leuven Thom Frühwirth Constraint Handling Rules

Page 9 Myﬁrst CHR programs | Multiset transformation | Minimum Minimum I Minimum program min(N) min(M) <=> N=<M | true. I Computing minimum of multiset of numbers ni I Numbers given as query min(n1), min(n2),..., min(nk) I min(ni) means ni is potential minimum I Simpagation rule takes two min constraints and removes the one representing the larger value. I Program continues until only one min constraint left I This min constraint represents smallest value

Page 10 Myﬁrst CHR programs | Multiset transformation | Minimum Minimum II Minimum program min(N) min(M) <=> N=<M | true. I Rule corresponds to intuitive algorithm: “Cross out larger numbers until one, the minimum remains” I Illustrates use of multi-headed rule to iterate over data I No explicit loops or recursion needed I Keeps program code compact I Makes program easier to analyze

Page 24 Myﬁrst CHR programs | Multiset transformation | Greatest common divisor Greatest common divisor (I) XOR program gcd(N) gcd(M) <=> 0<N,N=<M | gcd(M-N). I Computes greatest common divisor of natural number represented as gcd(N) I Result is remaining nonzero gcd constraint Example computation gcd(12),gcd(8) gcd(8), gcd(4) gcd(4), gcd(4) gcd(4), gcd(0) GCD

I Rule removes multiples of each of the numbers I Query: Prime number candidates from 2 to up to N i.e. prime(2),prime(3),prime(4),...prime(N) I Each number absorbs multiples of itself, eventually only prime numbers remain Example computation prime(7), prime(6), prime(5), prime(4), prime(3), prime(2) prime(7), prime(5), prime(4), prime(3), prime(2) prime(7), prime(5), prime(3), prime(2)
