Hi everyone!

I have been trying to solve a problem of the following nature:

Given [V1, V2, V3]::1..3, alldifferent([V1, V2, V3]),

I  have costs C12, C13, C21, C23, C31, C32. I wish to have final costs,
C1, C2, C3 such that, 

if V1 = 1, V2 = 2, V3 = 3, then C1 = 0 + Const,
C2 = C1 + C12, C3 = C2 + C23.

But if V1 = 3, V2 = 1, V3 = 2 then C3 = 0 + const, C1 = C3 + C31, C2 = C1
+ C12.

If V1 = 2, V2 = 3, V3 = 1, then C2 = 0 + const, C3 = C2 + C23, C1 = C3 +
C31.

In essence, the additions are done based on which variable is assigned
which value. kindly help as this has been a very difficult thing for me to
do for the last three weeks.

Thanking you all,

Farouk
