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...

In this paper the use of graph isomorphism is investigated within the framework of symmetry breaking in constraint satisfaction problems. A running example of Comma-free codes is ...
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...
The scheduling of social golfers has attracted significant attention in recent years because of its highly symmetrical and combinatorial nature. In particular, it has become one o...
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...
