Automatic generation of symmetry-breaking constraints

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Solution symmetries in integer linear programs often yield long Branch-and-Bound based solution processes. We propose a method for finding elements of the permutation group of solution symmetries, and two different types of symmetry-breaking constraints to eliminate these symmetries at the modelling level. We discuss some preliminary computational results.
