Breaking All Value Symmetries in Surjection Problems
We propose a surprisingly simple new way of breaking all value symmetries with constraints. Our method requires the addition of one variable per value of the problem plus a linear ...

Breaking Symmetry of Interchangeable Variables and Values
Abstract. A common type of symmetry is when both variables and values partition into interchangeable sets. Polynomial methods have been introduced to eliminate all symmetric soluti...

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 ...

Constraint Symmetry for the Soft CSP
We introduce a definition of constraint symmetry for soft CSPs, based on the definition of constraint symmetry for classical CSPs. We show that the constraint symmetry group of a...

Global Constraints for Integer and Set Value Precedence
The paper introduces value precedence on integer and set sequences. A useful application of the notion is in breaking symmetries of indistinguishable values, an important class of ...
