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...
This paper introduces a metric that measures symmetry in tree graphs, which allows for a statistical characterization of GP solutions by their architectural "shapes." A ...
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...

Abstract. We propose a new family of constraints which combine together lexicographical ordering constraints for symmetry breaking with other common global constraints. We give a g...
Abstract. We introduce a new global constraint which combines together the lexicographic ordering constraint with two sum constraints. Lexicographic ordering constraints are freque...
