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...
Symmetry is an important factor in solving many constraint satisfaction problems. One common type of symmetry is when we have symmetric values. We can eliminate such value symmetr...
Symmetry-breaking in constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) is a well-established area of AI research which has recently developed strong interactions with symbolic computation, i...
We argue that parameterized complexity is a useful tool with which to study global constraints. In particular, we show that many global constraints which are intractable to propag...
