We introduce a novel and exciting research area: symmetrising levels of consistency to produce stronger forms of consistency and more efficient mechanisms for establishing them. W...

In the context of previous work on redundant modeling, permutation problems and matrix modeling, we introduce the notion of partial redundant modeling and categorical channeling co...
Abstract. In this article we will present some problems that have weak symmetries. In contrast to a proper symmetry, a weak symmetry acts only on a subset of the variables and pres...
Abstract. Many symmetry breaking techniques assume that the symmetries of a CSP are given as input in addition to the CSP itself. We present a method that can be used to detect all...
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 ...
