Parameterized Complexity Results in Symmetry Breaking

Artificial Intelligence 2015-05-19 v1 Computational Complexity

Abstract

Symmetry is a common feature of many combinatorial problems. Unfortunately eliminating all symmetry from a problem is often computationally intractable. This paper argues that recent parameterized complexity results provide insight into that intractability and help identify special cases in which symmetry can be dealt with more tractably
