Closure-Guided Optimization: Minimum Structural Repair as a General Constraint-Handling Principle

This paper introduces Closure-Guided Optimization (CGO), a constraint-handling framework that utilizes Feasibility Closure Complexity (FCC) to minimize structural repair costs, demonstrating its effectiveness in scenarios where violation rankings diverge from actual repair difficulty while acknowledging it is not a universal advantage over existing methods.
