SATISFACTION
(bouvier) | SATISFACTION, construction by courts of equity. Satisfaction is defined to
be the donation of a thing, with the intention, express or implied, that
such donation is to be an extinguishment of some existing right or claim in
the donee.
2. Where a person indebted bequeaths to his creditor a legacy, equal
to, or exceeding the amount of the debt, which is not noticed in the will,
courts of equity, in the absence of any intimation of a contrary intention,
have adopted the rule that the testator shall be presumed to have meant the
legacy as a satisfaction. of the debt.
3. When a testator, being indebted, bequeaths to his creditor a legacy,
simpliciter, and of the same nature as the debt, and not coming within the
exceptions stated in the next paragraph, it has been held a satisfaction of
the debt, when the legacy is equal to, or exceeds the amount of the debt.
Pre. Ch. 240; 3 P. Wms. 353.
4. The following are exceptions to the rule: 1. Where the legacy is of,
less amount than the debt, it shall not be deemed a part payment or
satisfaction. 1 Ves. pen. 263.
5.-2. Where, though the debt and legacy are of equal amount, there is a
difference in the times of payment, so that the legacy may not be equally
beneficial to the legatee as the debt. Prec. Ch. 236; 2 Atk. 300; 2 Ves.
sen. 63 5; 3 Atk. 96; 1 Bro. C. C. 129; 1 Bro. C. C. 195; 1 McClel. & Y.

given. 2 P. Wms. 614; 1 Ves. jr. 298; 2 Ves. jr. 463.
7.-4. When the provision by the will is expressed to be given for a
particular purpose, such purpose will prevent the testamentary gift being
construed a satisfaction of the debt, because it is given diverse intuitu. 2
Ves. sen. 635.
8.-5. When the debt of the testator is contracted subsequently to the,
making of the will; for, in that case, the legacy will not be deemed a
satisfaction. 2 Salk. 508.
9.-6. When the legacy is uncertain or contingent. 2 Atk. 300; 2 P. Wms.
343.
10.-7. Where the debt itself is contingent, as where it arises from a
running account between the testator and legatee; 1 P. Wms. 296; or it is a
negotiable bill of exchange. 3 Ves. jr. 561.
11.-8. Where there is an express direction in the will for the payment
of debts end legacies, the court will infer from the circumstance, that the
testator intended that both the debt owing from him to the legatee and the
legacy, should, be paid. 1 P. Wms. 408; 2 Roper, Leg. 54.

SATISFACTION
(bouvier) | SATISFACTION, practice. An entry made on the record, by which a party in
whose favor a judgment was rendered, declares that he has been satisfied and
paid.
2. In Alabama, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and, Vermont,
provision is made by statute, requiring the mortgagee to discharge a
mortgage upon the record, by entering satisfaction in the margin. The
refusal or neglect to enter satisfaction after payment and demand, renders
the mortgagee liable to an action, after the time given him by the
respective statutes for doing the same has elapsed, and subjects him to the
payment of damages, and, in some cases, treble costs. In Indiana and New
York, the register or recorder of deeds may himself discharge the mortgage
upon the record on the exhibition of a certificate of payment and
satisfaction signed by the mortgagee or his representatives, and attached to
the mortgage, which shall be recorded. Ind. St. 1836, 64; 1 N. Y. Rev. St.
761.

constraint satisfaction
(foldoc) | constraint satisfaction
The process of assigning values to variables while
meeting certain requirements or "constraints". For example, in
graph colouring, a node is a variable, the colour assigned to it
is its value and a link between two nodes represents the
constraint that those two nodes must not be assigned the same
colour. In scheduling, constraints apply to such variables as
the starting and ending times for tasks.
The Simplex method is one well known technique for solving
numerical constraints.
The search difficulty of constraint satisfaction problems can be
determined on average from knowledge of easily computed structural
properties of the problems. In fact, hard instances of
NP-complete problems are concentrated near an abrupt transition
between under- and over-constrained problems. This transition is
analogous to phase transitions in physical systems and offers a
way to estimate the likely difficulty of a constraint problem
before attempting to solve it with search.

Hogg, XEROX PARC).
