Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) sometimes contain both variable symmetries and value symmetries, causing adverse effects on CSP solvers based on tree search. As a remedy, s...
We describe some new propagators for breaking symmetries in constraint satisfaction problems. We also introduce symmetry breaking constraints to deal with symmetries acting simulta...
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 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...
