Using Canonical Codes to Efficiently Solve the Benzenoid Generation Problem with Constraint Programming

Authors: Xiao Peng and Christine Solnon

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 280, 29th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2023)

Abstract
The Benzenoid Generation Problem (BGP) aims at generating all benzenoid molecules that satisfy some given properties. This problem has important applications in chemistry, and Carissan et al (2021) have shown us that Constraint Programming (CP) is well suited for modelling this problem because properties defined by chemists are easy to express by means of constraints. Benzenoids are described by hexagon graphs and a key point for an efficient enumeration of these graphs is to be invariant to rotations and symmetries. In this paper, we introduce canonical codes that uniquely characterise hexagon graphs while being invariant to rotations and symmetries. We show that these codes may be defined by means of constraints. We also introduce a global constraint for ensuring that codes are canonical, and a global constraint for ensuring that a pattern is included in a code. We experimentally compare our new CP model with the CP-based approach of Carissan et al (2021), and we show that it has better scale-up properties.

Automatic Generation of Declarative Models For Differential Cryptanalysis

Authors: Luc Libralesso, François Delobel, Pascal Lafourcade, and Christine Solnon

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 210, 27th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2021)

Abstract
When designing a new symmetric block cipher, it is necessary to evaluate its robustness against differential attacks. This is done by computing Truncated Differential Characteristics (TDCs) that provide bounds on the complexity of these attacks. TDCs are often computed by using declarative approaches such as CP (Constraint Programming), SAT, or ILP (Integer Linear Programming). However, designing accurate and efficient models for these solvers is a difficult, error-prone and time-consuming task, and it requires advanced skills on both symmetric cryptography and solvers. In this paper, we describe a tool for automatically generating these models, called Tagada (Tool for Automatic Generation of Abstraction-based Differential Attacks). The input of Tagada is an operational description of the cipher by means of black-box operators and bipartite Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs). Given this description, we show how to automatically generate constraints that model operator semantics, and how to generate MiniZinc models. We experimentally evaluate our approach on two different kinds of differential attacks (e.g., single-key and related-key) and four different symmetric block ciphers (e.g., the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), Craft, Midori, and Skinny). We show that our automatically generated models are competitive with state-of-the-art approaches. These automatically generated models constitute a new benchmark composed of eight optimization problems and eight enumeration problems, with instances of increasing size in each problem. We experimentally compare CP, SAT, and ILP solvers on this new benchmark.

Solving the Non-Crossing MAPF with CP

Authors: Xiao Peng, Christine Solnon, and Olivier Simonin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 210, 27th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2021)

Abstract
We introduce a new Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) problem which is motivated by an industrial application. Given a fleet of robots that move on a workspace that may contain static obstacles, we must find paths from their current positions to a set of destinations, and the goal is to minimise the length of the longest path. The originality of our problem comes from the fact that each robot is attached with a cable to an anchor point, and that robots are not able to cross these cables. We formally define the Non-Crossing MAPF (NC-MAPF) problem and show how to compute lower and upper bounds by solving well known assignment problems. We introduce a Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS) approach for improving the upper bound, and a Constraint Programming (CP) model for solving the problem to optimality. We experimentally evaluate these approaches on randomly generated instances.
