Abstract

This paper studies the redundancy properties of the constraints used when formulating the well known Latin Square problem. This problem is often formulated using either (N驴驴驴1)*N 2 binary disequalities or 2*N all_different global constraints. Both formulations contain redundant constraints. A complete classification of all redundant sets of constraints, be they binary or global, is performed for any N.
