Abstract
Embodiments relate to approximate assignment in a constraint based evolutionary search. An aspect includes providing a genome representing a collection of variable assignment preferences encoded as genes. Another aspect includes reducing the domain until a unit sized domain is reached, the unit sized domain being an approximation to a value V. Another aspect includes searching for a first assignment of the value V that is less than or equal to the unit sized domain and a second assignment of the value V that is greater than the unit sized domain. Another aspect includes responsive to a first assignment and a second assignment being found, assigning the value V of one of the first assignment and the second assignment having the least distance from the unit sized domain to a variable X.
