It might be a seperate issue but I am getting an unexpected result from the following query also (again assuming ic loaded) ?- [A, B] :: 0.0 .. 0.5, C $= A + B, Cost $= -(C), minimize((locate([A, B, C], 1.0), get_min(Cost, Min)), Min). A = A{0.0 .. 0.5} B = B{0.0 .. 0.5} C = C{0.0 .. 0.5} Cost = Cost{-0.5 .. -0.0} Min = -0.5 There are 2 delayed goals. Yes (0.00s cpu) Surely the maximum for C is 1.0, and there should be a solution with Cost -1.0? Am I simply using minimize wrong, or is there another problem?
