Abstract. Many symmetry breaking techniques assume that the symmetries of a CSP are given as input in addition to the CSP itself. We present a method that can be used to detect all...
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...

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...
Symmetry breaking in CSPs has attracted consid erable attention in recent years. Various general schemes have been proposed to eliminate sym metries during search. In general,...

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...
