Abstract: It is often the case that systems are "nearly symmetric"; they exhibit symmetry in a part of their description but are, nevertheless, globally asymmetric. We formalize several notions of near symmetry and show how to obtain the benefits of symmetry reduction when applied to asymmetric systems which are nearly symmetric. We show that for some nearly symmetric systems it is possible to perform symmetry reduction and obtain a bisimilar (up to permutation) symmetry reduced system. Using a... (Update)

...choice of representatives is significant since it strongly influences the size of the BDDs representing the symmetry reduced model. [11] suggests to choose generic representatives. This approach involves compiling the symmetric program to a reduced model over the generic...
