Abstract
Dealing with relations over constraints is a difficult matter, because of the possible inherent disjunction. For constraints over finite domains and constraint solver mechanisms, where a direct propagation of the disjunction is impossible, a conjunctive reformulation of the disjunctions has to be found. This contribution describes an easily computable method to transform the constraints with their relations into an efficient conjunctive constraint system.

A much more detailed version is available in German as a technical report.
