CDL: A fast and flexible library for the study of permutation sets with structural restrictions

In this paper, we introduce CDL, a software library designed for the analysis of permutations and linear orders subject to various structural restrictions. Prominent examples of these restrictions include pattern avoidance, a topic of interest in both computer science and combinatorics, and "never conditions" utilized in social choice and voting theory. CDL offers a range of fundamental functionalities, including identifying the permutations that meet specific restrictions and determining the isomorphism of such sets. To facilitate exploration of large permutation sets or domains, CDL incorporates multiple search strategies and heuristics.
