Re: [eclipse-clp-users] Time out issue with long integer

Dear Joachim,

Here is the problem. The following script runs with locate to give me a bounded real 2.5 .. 2.9.

Problem with locate

:-lib(ic).
solve(A1) :-
%%Domain
%%Constraints
(A1) + 1  $> (3.5),

%%Search
locate([A1],1e-1).

Output

?- solve(A1).
A1 = A1{2.5 .. 2.9723527865385617}
There is 1 delayed goal.
Yes (0.00s cpu, solution 1, maybe more)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So I represent the same number as a fraction(A1/A2). Using search it will give me A1 and A2.. Outside the scope of eclipse, I calculate the fraction
to be 2.5000000005820766092701993438579. But I need a fraction close to 2.6 or 2.51 since that is my border value. Moreover, this approach also solves other complex constraints.

Solution with search
:-lib(ic).
solve(A1, A2) :-
%%Domain
A1 :: -2147483648 .. 2147483647,
A2 :: -2147483648 .. 2147483647,

%%Constraints
(A1/A2) + 1  $> (3.5),
%%Search
search([A1, A2],0,input_order,indomain_min,complete,[]).

Output 
A1 = -2147483648
A2 = -858993459
There are 2 delayed goals.
Yes (0.00s cpu, solution 1, maybe more)

Operation outside eclipse system
A1/A2 = 2.5000000005820766092701993438579


Thanks and Regards,
Shrirang Edgaonkar

As I mentioned in my earlier reply, you should simply use indomain_split, which
will give you the expected answer:

?- X :: -9223372036854775808 .. 9223372036854775807,
    X $> 115000000000,
    search([X], 0, input_order, indomain_split, complete, []).
X = 115000000001
Yes (0.00s cpu, solution 1, maybe more)

It's difficult to make a recommendation without knowing what kind of problem you
are actually trying to solve.
