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...

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,...

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...
ion of a given partial assignment of values to variables. Compared with other symmetry breaking techniques, the big advantage of dynamic symmetry breaking is that it can accommodat...
Since their beginning in constraint programming, set solvers have been applied to a wide range of combinatorial search problems, such as bin-packing, set partitioning, circuit desi...
