The use of restarts techniques associated with learning nogoods in solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) is starting to be considered of major importance for backtrack search algorithms. Recent developments show how to learn nogoods from restarts and that those nogoods are essential when using restarts. Using a backtracking search algorithm, with 2-way branching, generalized nogoods are learned from the last branch of the search tree, immediately before the restart occurs. In this paper we further generalized the learned nogoods but now using domain-splitting branching and set branching. We believe that the use of restarts and learning of domain-splitting generalized nogoods will improve backtrack search algorithms for certain classes of problems.
