Conditional symmetry arises in a sub-problem of a constraint satisfaction problem, where the sub-problem satisfies some condition under which additional symetries hold. Typically...

We reconsider the idea of structural symmetry breaking (SSB) for constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). We show that the dynamic dominance checks used in symmetry breaking by dom...

We introduce a definition of constraint symmetry for soft CSPs, based on the definition of constraint symmetry for classical CSPs. We show that the constraint symmetry group of a...

Abstract. In this article we will present some problems that have weak symmetries. In contrast to a proper symmetry, a weak symmetry acts only on a subset of the variables and pres...
We present a comprehensive study of the use of value precedence constraints to break value symmetry. We first give a simple encoding of value precedence into ternary constraints th...
