    Solution algorithm for solving the
    Frequency Assignment Problem with Polarity
    - Main model executing the submodel fappmod.mos -
   
    This problem, taken from the ROADEF'2001 challenge, is a Frequency 
    Assignment Problem with Polarization constraints. It originates 
    from the CALMA European project (Combinatorial Algorithms 
    for Military Applications), from 1993 to 1995. The formulation 
    has been extended to take into account the polarisation 
    constraints and the undercontrolled relaxation of 
    electromagnetic compatibility constraints. 
    
    You can find more information about the challenge on 
    the following URL:    
    http://challenge.roadef.org/2001/en/
    
    A complete description of the problem can be dowloaded here:
    http://challenge.roadef.org/2001/en/sujet.php    
    
    The algorithm implemented is a two phase algorithm:
    
    - First find a good lower bound on the relaxation level 'k' of 
      the CEM (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility constraints). This is 
      done by successively propagation CEM constraints by decreasing
      relaxation level. When the problem becomes infeasible we obtain
      a lower bound on 'k'    
       
    - We then apply a simple solution algorithm to find (on some instances) 
      an optimal solution relative to the relaxation level 'k'.
      
    The lower bound algorithm enables the finding of an exact lower bound 
    just using constraint propagation for 37 of the 44 instances published 
    by the challenge.
