A new technique for distributed symmetry breaking
We introduce Multi-Trials, a new technique for symmetry breaking for distributed algorithms and apply it to various problems in general graphs. For instance, we present three rand...

Tractable Symmetry Breaking Using Restricted Search Trees
We present a new conceptual abstraction in symmetry breaking – the GE-tree. The construction and traversal of a GE-tree breaks all symmetries in any constraint satisfaction or si...

New Developments in Symmetry Breaking in Search Using Computational Group Theory
Symmetry-breaking in constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) is a well-established area of AI research which has recently developed strong interactions with symbolic computation, i...

Dynamic Symmetry Breaking by Simulating Zykov Contraction
Abstract. We present a new method to break symmetry in graph coloring problems. While most alternative techniques add symmetry breaking predicates in a pre-processing step, we deve...

Symmetry Breaking and Local Search Spaces
The effects of combining search and modelling techniques can be complex and unpredictable, so guidelines are very important for the design and development of effective and robust s...
