Groupoids and Conditional Symmetry
We introduce groupoids – generalisations of groups in which not all pairs of elements may be multiplied, or, equivalently, categories in which all morphisms are invertible – as...

A variational description of the ground state structure in random satisfiability problems
A variational approach to finite connectivity spin-glass-like models is developed and applied to describe the structure of optimal solutions in random satisfiability problems. Our ...

Symmetric Component Caching
Caching, symmetries, and search with decomposition are powerful techniques for pruning the search space of constraint problems. In this paper we present an innovative way of effi...

The AllDifferent Constraint with Precedences
We propose ALLDIFFPREC, a new global constraint that combines together an ALLDIFFERENT constraint with precedence constraints that strictly order given pairs of variables. We ident...

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...
