Identifying and breaking the symmetries of CNF formulae has been shown to lead to significant reductions in search times. In this paper we describe a more systematic and efficient...
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 ...
—Symmetry breaking is a fundamental operation in distributed computing. It has applications to important problems such as graph vertex and edge coloring, maximal independent sets...
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...
A spontaneous symmetry breaking argument is applied to the problem of protein form, via a Rate Distortion analysis of the relation between genome coding and the final condensation...
