Productions for Variables

(Related publication: [PUBLink])

Addition

One production ensures that it is always possible to add further variables. The production is shown in the figure below (production Pva).

Deletion

The production for the deletion of a variable (production Pvd in the figure above) requires that the variable is not connected to any constraint (to satisfy reqd). This is ensured by the NAC. The NAC cannot endanger reqp as it is not possible that there are edges to the variable directly after the application of Pva.
