Combining Symmetry Breaking with Other Constraints: Lexicographic Ordering with Sums
Abstract. We introduce a new global constraint which combines together the lexicographic ordering constraint with two sum constraints. Lexicographic ordering constraints are freque...

Tractable Symmetry Breaking Using Restricted Search Trees
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...

Hybrid Set Domains to Strengthen Constraint Propagation and Reduce Symmetries
In CP literature combinatorial design problems such as sport scheduling, Steiner systems, error-correcting codes and more, are typically solved using Finite Domain (FD) models desp...

Breaking Value Symmetry
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...

The Increasing Nvalue Constraint
This paper introduces the Increasing Nvalue constraint, which restricts the number of distinct values assigned to a sequence of variables so that each variable in the sequence is l...
