Constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) for inequalities of vectors












2














I have two vectors $Y= (y_1, y_2, ldots, y_m)^T$ and $S= (s_1, s_2,ldots, s_m)^T$, where all entries in $Y$ and $S$ being positive integers. $Y$ is defined by $Y = A + B cdot X$, where $A$ is a constant $m$-vector, $B$ is a constant $m times n$ matrix and $X$ is a variable $n$-vector.



Given $S$, I want to find all the possible values of $X = (x_1, x_2, ldots, x_n)^T$ such that $Y neq S$ using linear integer programming.



I thought of using the following constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by adding the variable $z_j$ such that $z_j = |y_j - s_j|$ to check that at least for one entry $j$ we have $y_j neq s_j$:



$$Y = A + B cdot X geqslant vec{0},\
z_j = |y_j - s_j|,quad forall j in 1, cdots, m\
sum_{j=1}^{m} z_j geq 1.$$



But I have a problem with the absolute value. What should I do to achieve this?
