3 jugs problem using regular constraint in Google CP Solver.
A.k.a. water jugs problem.
Problem from Taha 'Introduction to Operations Research', page 245f .
For more info about the problem, see: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ThreeJugProblem.html
This model use a regular constraint for handling the transitions between the states. Instead of minimizing the cost in a cost matrix (as shortest path problem), we here call the model with increasing length of the sequence array (x).
Compare with other models that use MIP/CP approach, as a shortest path problem:
This model was created by Hakan Kjellerstrand ([email protected]) Also see my other Google CP Solver models: http://www.hakank.org/google_or_tools/

# Global constraint regular

# This is a translation of MiniZinc's regular constraint (defined in
# lib/zinc/globals.mzn), via the Comet code refered above.
# All comments are from the MiniZinc code.

# The sequence of values in array 'x' (which must all be in the range 1..S)
# is accepted by the DFA of 'Q' states with input 1..S and transition
# function 'd' (which maps (1..Q, 1..S) -> 0..Q)) and initial state 'q0'
# (which must be in 1..Q) and accepting states 'F' (which all must be in
# 1..Q). We reserve state 0 to be an always failing state.
