Here’s a problem that occurs in automatic program analysis. For a set of variables x1,..., xn, you are given some equality constraints, of the form “xi = xj” and some disequality constraints, of the form “xi ≠ xj.” Is it possibl to satisfy all of them?

For instance, the constraints

x1 = x2,x2 = x3, x3 = x4, x1 ≠ x4

cannot be satisfied. Give an efficient algorithm that takes as input m constraints over n variables and decides whether the constraints can be satisfied.
