Many real problems can be naturally modelled as constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). However, some of these problems are of a distributed nature, which requires problems of this kind to be modelled as distributed constraint satisfaction problems (DCSPs). In this work, we present a distributed model for solving CSPs. Our technique carries out a partition over the constraint network using a g...

Last years, products, models, architecture and frameworks suggest several key issues that will contribute to the success of open distributed systems. However, in practice, the development of distributed systems is more complex. The design process must take into account: the mechanisms and functions required to support interaction, communication and coordination between distributed components. I...

By means of Mawhin’s continuation theorem, we study a kind of third-order p-Laplacian functional differential equation with distributed delay in the form: ( φp(x ′(t)) )′′ = g ( t, ∫ 0 −τ x(t+ s) dα(s) ) + e(t), some criteria to guarantee the existence of periodic solutions are obtained.
