Abstract

There is always a natural embedding of SsSkS_s\wr S_k into the linear programming (LP) relaxation permutation symmetry group of an orthogonal array integer linear programming (ILP) formulation with equality constraints. The point of this paper is to prove that in the 22 level, strength 11 case the LP relaxation permutation symmetry group of this formulation is isomorphic to S2SkS_2\wr S_k for all kk, and in the 22 level, strength 22 case it is isomorphic to S2kSk+1S_2^k\rtimes S_{k+1} for k4k\geq 4. The strength 22 result reveals previously unknown permutation symmetries that can not be captured by the natural embedding of S2SkS_2\wr S_k. We also conjecture a complete characterization of the LP relaxation permutation symmetry group of the ILP formulation.
