Symmetry and Search in a Network Design Problem
Abstract. An optimization problem arising in the design of optical fibre networks is discussed. A network contains client nodes, each installed on one or more SONET rings. A const...

Evolving symmetric and modular neural networks for distributed control
Problems such as the design of distributed controllers are characterized by modularity and symmetry. However, the symmetries useful for solving them are often difficult to determ...

Symmetries of Symmetry Breaking Constraints
Symmetry is an important feature of many constraint programs. We show that any symmetry acting on a set of symmetry breaking constraints can be used to break symmetry. Different s...

Solving Necklace Constraint Problems
Abstract. Some constraint problems have a combinatorial structure where the constraints allow the sequence of variables to be rotated (necklaces), if not also the domain values to ...

Exploiting structure in symmetry detection for CNF
Instances of the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) arise in many areas of circuit design and verification. These instances are typically constructed from some human-designed ar...
